Secondary Points
I was recently asked this question in a email, so here is my response. Remember, just because something works for one person, does not mean it is right for everyone!
First off...What is a "secondary point?"
Let's say there is a cove or pocket off a lake. The first two major points going into the cove, one on the left and one on the right are considered "main lake points." The other points, in the cove or pocket, are considered "secondary points," which CAN be broken down into tertiary points, but we won't go there!
Okay, now that we have established what "secondary points" are; how do you identify them on a map and what is the best approach for fishing them?
The "best" secondary points are ones that have a channel nearby or a sudden depth/contour change. Points that have a gradual depth change or a slope tend not to be as productive. On your lake map look for little channels
that "swing in" near the point or for tight contour lines.
For example: If you see contour lines that are evenly or widely spaced then the bottom will be flat or have a gradual slope. Where map contour lines are tightly
grouped then this indicates a "fast" change in depth.
Now...How do you go about fishing them?????
Try to keep your boat in as deep of water and as far from the bank as possible on your first approach. Second, fan cast for cover with a spinnerbait or crankbait. Depending on what the fish are doing and what type of cover you locate,that will determine your next move. If the fish are wanting a slow presentation, if you find some brush piles, if the fish are suspended or on the bottom you might need to adjust your presentation to a T-rig or C-rig or something else. It really depends on the fish, the cover, the hatch and the angler.

Aaron's,Yamaha, Humminbird, Minn Kota, and Ranger Gives to the Troops!
Janet's sponsors went above and beyond in the 2007 tournament seasonto help her raise money for the military. Aaron's donated an undisclosed LARGE amount of money to the Armed Forces Foundation. Out of the donated funds the AFF purchased a deeply, deeply discounted Ranger boat hull.
The 150 hp boat motor was donated by Yamaha Motors. Humminbird donated a 997 Side Imaging Unit for the console and a 787 for the bow with the interlink system. Sweet! Minn Kota donated a 101lb trust Max Pro Trolling Motor.
These are companies that truely "Give Back" to our commumity. Thanks Guys!! You are the BEST!
And remember "if you cannot donate to the troops then support the companies that do!" This way everyone wins.

Hello, and welcome to my website.
My name is Janet Parker, and I live in Little Elm, Texas. You are invited to join me for the 2007 tournament season as I compete in the second year of the new Professional Women's Bassmaster, and the Forrest L. Wood tours.
Fishing is, and has been, my one constant passion. It offers whatever the participant wants -- from relaxing on a shady shore with a bucket of minnows, making friends and fellowship in a local fishing club, or the adrenalin rush from intense competition, you can find it as an angler. It is yours for the taking!
My love of fishing began at the age of 18 months. After mastering the art of walking, my God Grandparents began taking me, my bag of cloth diapers, and a bucket of minnows with them fishing every afternoon. Several years later, and after my first 8 pound Largemouth Bass, it is official . . . I am addicted for life!
Hopefully, through this website, I can convey my love of fishing; inspire others to experience this wonderful sport, and, with the calendar, allow my mother, sponsors and friends to keep up with me and my busy schedule!
