I'm thinking of buying a directional feeder (probably Texas Hunter). I will build a small platform so that the feeder is just beyond the water's edge. I have a 2 acre pond with LMB, BG, FHM and GSH. Fish were stocked 3 years ago after the pond was renovated.

Does it matter where I locate the feeder? Should I put it so the feed shoots over large underwater rock piles and other structure? Or should the feed shoot into open water? Deep water? Shallow water?
