Im pretty new to fishing the big lake having fished it a little more than a dozen times. I generally have fished the Beulah, Hazen ramp areas but have been around Douglas and Garrison bay areas and what i believe is called the Nishu area. I have always wondered when camping or putting in at the Beulah - Hazen ramps why most boats seem to take off from the south side and head across to fish the north side of the lake. Is there some thing structurally the north side has that the south side doesnt? Most of the time the wind is out of the west or north and you would think most of the mudlines would be forming on the points and banks on the south side of the lake.
