Most of the time there is a sweet spot on a point. You can fish all around and try and find that spot but usually you can idle over the point and pretty much find the sweet spot. To me that saves a lot of time. In a tournament or not I want to spend my fishing time in productive water. If I can find a school on my graph I at least know I'm around them. Doesn't mean I can make them bite but at least give me confidence they are there. It is hard for me to fish my bait correctly if I'm just fan casting a point hoping to get a bite.
