Bass Fishing Help

How do you typically fish a Texas rig? Slow drag on the bottom? And near the back perpendicular to it or deep to shallow?

When I fish a Texas rig I usually start with a slow drag, and giving the rod tip a pop at random intervals. If I’m not getting any strikes, I’ll go to a slower raise and lower retrieve.
 

On a clean bank with clear water, I like to do a “stitch” retrieve, pulling 6”-10” of line (or sometimes even less) at a time with my fingertips rather than the reel. 
 

When shore fishing, I like to start by throwing perpendicular to the bank as far as I can and getting a feel for the bottom. I’ll start fanning out from there. Most of my success off the bank has been at about a 45 degree angle from the bank
