TheFishingLoft:

Fishing points are areas in the water where the land extends out further into the water, (at the very line of where you see the land stopping and the water beginning). They’re all along the shore line. It depends on how you see it as. You can see “points” along the shore line as being many small points, or just a few, but, large. It’s the method of fishing that you use will determine what a key point would be. If fishing slow along the shore line, then any little thing extended out into the water may be a point. If fishing fast, then larger obvious land extensions into the water are points.
