What is th best way - in terms of position and range - to do an end around to get in a better attack position so the target does not pick you up and start changing course?
Thanks.

I find heading away from them at a 45 degree angle to their course, then after a suitable distance is achieved running parallel, before finally running towards them at a 45 degree angle.
Usually gets you well ahead and far enough away that you'll not be noticed when motoring past them.

Phat Bhoy Tim is right, If you have picked him up first, check your range and stay at that range or farther out. But close enough to hold visual sighting. Then work around like Tim said until you are far enough out from him to come back in and be lying in wait for that perfect setup...Good Hunting....
