Maybe try hand feeding and see what place gives you the best results, then you can place the feeder accordingly. The wind point is a very good one. In the pond I feed trout in, they mostly hang out in the deeper water along the dam. However, the wind is almost always blowing in this direction and has the entire pond and about 300 yards of field beyond that with no breaks other than a few trees around the bank. It can make feeding very difficult at times but fortunately there's a mallard who likes to swim along the shore and eat what the fish don't.
