Hello, I am new to this and when reading I see people mentioning fishing primary and secondary points. Can someone help me identify what this means and how to tell the difference. Thank you.

A primary point will be on the main lake and a secondary point is one that is back in a creek arm or bay.

When said of manmade impoundments, primary points are associated with the main river,

while secondary points are associated with adjoining creek arms.

When said of natural lakes, primary points are the largest points on the lake,

while secondary points are lesser points, for instance a point within a point.

Alas the difference is often judgmental, like the difference between a Bay and a Cove.

That deffinately helps. I'll check it out this week and see how I do with the information I have gathered. Thank you both.
