Thread: Summer Bream

Bream or Bluegill are a fine eating fish from mid October until mid April they have flakey juicey texture, But between those times the male bream take on a dry cottony texture, I believe the females are good year round, my question, Is It the water temperature or the Spawn or both that causes this.

Charlie , as I posted in another thread water quality has alot to do with the taste of fish. Hot water with lots of mud,wood, or algea can give fish an off taste. Also spawning probably affects the flesh . I know later in the summer those Bulls get real thin late in the spawning season here.
