[QUOTE="KDM, post: 321856, member: 314"] There are two trains of thought on this idea. One is what Twitch mentioned. The other is that the wind causes the water to get stirred up and cloudy on the windy side which causes "mudlines" to form where cleaner water runs against this muddy water. The idea here is that this dirty or muddy water makes it easier for the predator fish to ambush the baitfish and not so much as there are more baitfish. What baitfish are there are just easier to get. Easier pickings makes for more predator fish in the area. Either way, the windy side shorelines seem to have more active fish if the wind has been steady in one direction for a few days. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
