In general, do you think the east side of creeks, main lakes, coves, etc is better for fishing?

Gets the best low light in the morning and gets more direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day in the early afternoon for vegetation to grow and release more oxygen via photosynthesis. Also, would warm up more during the day and then release more heat as the sun goes down.

What about in the Summer time? Get's Hotter!

I've honestly never noticed a difference. But it is an interesting thought nonetheless. I will say that I'm a firm believer in fishing the North side of a lake in the Spring.

North side in early Spring definitely

Find the shade the rest of the time.
