Joe,
Seems a bit odd to me that those same bluegills would have a thicker fillet in the early summer when they've wintered for several months. I've never really eaten many gills in the late summer to know if ours are thinner, but now I'm curious.
Our water isn't really stagnant, but it does get pretty warm and the fishing slows greatly.
