I have often wondered why the wind-blown shoreline is the hot one for fish activity.
I suspect it's because only the top few feet of the lake is getting bio actively fueled by the sun (too much light gets absorbed to drive much bio-activity in deep water).
When the wind blows, it concentrates the upper few feet of water - and the planktonic life that lives in it - to the downwind shore.
Every fish from tiny minnows to the hogs that eat the medium size fish that eat the minnows/bugs follows this wind-driven concentration of chow.
