What Type Of Point Is This?

[basskng21]

i use the KELLY worm for this situation. just let it sit for a few min.

If my colleagues and I spoke to one another or our patients about "that elbow bendy muscle" instead of using concise standardized terms there would be mass confusion, poor outcomes, etc

Just a guess but did you perhaps had to put in more time studying to get your MD than is required to optain a fishing license?

So....how about we move the discussion to tirciary points? I'm not even sure if I spelled that right. I agree with those saying a point is a point. The only thing important about location is the time of year and weather conditions which will cause the fish to relate to it. You can figure that out without ever knowing what it's specifically called. The less complicated you make fishing, the easier it gets.

I consulted Long Mike, it's tertiary.

The only problem is that many use point as any point. As in, if the shoreline forms a point, it's a point, and if there is a lake bottom countour point, it's a point.

To me, there is only one point. Lake countour point.

That looks much more like a real word, thanks!

Agreed, but "a point is a point" still applies because if a point isn't a point, then it's not a point.

There are a ton of guys who call shorline points that have no lake countour point asscossiated with it, a point.

Those are not points.

In fact, the OP is a perfect example of this.

I agree with that part, I just wanted an excuse to say point as many times as possible For lack of a better term, I would still call the shoreline structure types a "point", they just woudn't really have the fish staging advantages of true underwater points. I feel like I'm starting to talk myself in circles, but I know what I'm trying to say, even if no one else does.

Weeds, shadows, docks, logs, stumps, mud lines, fallen trees ect... all form points that fish use. Points are not limited to land/structure.

^^Good point (pun absolutely intended). However, I would put those points in a bag with the shoreline structure "points." They can be called that, and 100% correctly, to get your intended meaning (didn't want to use point again) across, but when I think of a "point" in terms of the meaning often associated with a body of water, it refers to a structure which tapers from shoreline out into the water. At least, that's how I always think about it.

Those other points have certain times of year where they will hold fish, but the points which reach underwater will hold fish almost year round. They are more of a major structure in the lake/river/etc. while the others are secondary structure/cover.

In fishing, to me anyways, a point is structure.

Everything you listed above is cover, not structure.

OK, we get it. The point nazi has spoken, LOL.

Amd yes, trees, docks, stumps, etc. are cover. Weed lines, mud lines, and shadows could be argued as something completely different - edges.

I remember that bugging me when I was fishing with my dad/brother when I was 12 years old.

Then again, I'm sure when you are 12, you think you know everything.

Sounds like we have figured out what a "point" is....let us move onto "pockets"....and then to the difference between a "trench" and a "ditch"...and then to whatever the heck this sentence means "got a tick and laid the steel into 'em and lipped that chunk"

haha I love fishing
