Rob I would guess you ae mainly feeding bluegill. I suggest yes close to cover (rock is good) and in shallow water but not a big expanse of shallow water. Like to have deeper water close by. Good point play the wind. It will help spread the feed to larger area.

No need for a platform with the Texas Hunter. If you do build a platform for ease of fillign etc. Make sure to let them know you want the dock legs. Much smaller footprint to save you space. GL.
