Nico, nice to meet you last weekend, too bad the fishing was not better!
I usually creep up and hit it first with a good cast, and then fish away from it, and if I do not get anything, I come back in an hour or so and hit it from a totally different angle with a different bait. At Pedro and McClure time of day is a huge deal and the prime angle changes over the course of a day and also depending on the weather conditions. Every lake has local daily wind conditions during a stable weather pattern and the fish position themselves differently as it changes over the course of a day, this is especially true for the really big spotted bass.
