I find the major differences between LBL bays and west side bays;
1- LBL bays will have less stain in the water given an equal amount of rain on both sides. Lots of farmland drains into the west side.
2-There will usually be less pressure on the LBL bays. Both sides can be covered up with boats but lots of folks who stay on the west side don't want to chance crossing the lake in wind or weather.
Given those 2 things, they can be equally good or equally bad.
