a secondary point?
Always see the term used and assumed it was a primary(main) point that leveled off for a while,then dropped again.
Also see it used to describe a submerged point that was once above water,but now totally under.
any pics of a topo map that shows exactly what it is?
I haven't thought a lot of about it, but seems to me like it would be a spur off the ridge that creates the main lake point. I don't know, maybe some of the others know, or can make something up we'll believe. :D
I always refered to them as a point in side of a creek or cove. Any point that is not a main lake point. Which would be the ones at the mouth of any cove or creek along the main lake or channel.
I believe you have it right cook. It would be a depth drop and should show on any contour map. I would assume that it would be a drop of several feet. At least that's the way I've alway interpreted it.
My thinking also.Quote:

On second though, I think Jared is correct on this.
That's what I always thought too.:oQuote:

Cook it would be like a cove inside of a creek. For Truman guys Cedar creek would be a god example. I like to fish the secondary points of the 3 coves on the left side. Can some one let my wife know that I was right about something for once.
She wouldn't believe it anyway Jared.
From what I found online, it would be any point that is not on the main lake. So any points in coves are secondary.

Definitions of Fishing Terms
Here are some definitions of keywords you will commonly see in Dave Stewart's fishing report.
Primary or Main Point
This is a point that is associated with the junction of two major bodies of water. If you were on the main lake traveling into Sugar Bay, the points on your left and right where the bay and main lake come together are primary points.
Secondary point
Points that are in a creek, bay or on the main lake that are not associated with the junction of two major bodies of water. Besides primary or main points, all other points on the main lake and in the bays are secondary points. Many times I refer to secondary creek channel points in my reports. These are secondary points that are closely associated with a creek channel.
done deal...not on the main lake...thanks a lot,all that helps me-maybe some of ya'll learned also from me asking..I'll keep asking the dumb questions
Keep them coming. There is a lot of knowledge on this site. I have have learned a lot from members on here.
I also refer to secondary points as the points within a cove off the main lake or major creek arm .
I'm not an expert but the best secondary points I have fished are the subtle points in the back of a cove near a creek channel with a spawning flat in the back of the cove .
I always thot it was when a DB or Safety pointed to a Wideout or any other Receiver and declared him the next VICTIM.
