Bidding on options with large spreads

I am starting to trade higher priced stocks via options. Many times, the spread is $3-$5.

Anyone else trading these? Do you tend to bid much closer to the bid and wait to get filled? I have found I sometimes get filled then the bid just drops a dollar or two.
