Another thought - maybe the BG are nesting at the same exact time this year. That would make more competition for nests.

I was just fishing at a pit that has RES, and their nests have generally been deeper than the bluegill nests. I've never seen the RES that shallow. That's really interesting.
I was double-freaked: first, to see sunfish mating 2' from shore, and second, when I realized they were Redears.
