Is it safe to eat bluegill out of a small/medium lake?

I live on a small/medium lake that has houses around about 70% of it. Is it safe to eat the bluegill from a lake like this or is there too much danger of contamination? I have seen lots of other people take fish from this lake. Also, there have never been any reports of the water being polluted.

I want to go fishing, braking for catfish or crappie, its cold, where can I find them now?

Its different from fishing in the summer, because the water level is low here in the freshwater channels. Any tips would be appreciated though. More importantly, do catfish prefer deeper water or the shallows when its cold at night? They are supposed to come in a feed when it gets dark but with the cold, will it make a difference?
