Funny, last time I was in NC the water under the boat where I was popping was 120m deep!  ;D This is contrary to what the LPB boys think, and its interesting because Konishi-san went there with great results. I wonder if it has changed their thinking.

I was thinking the same Kasey but obviously he thinks differently. It is from where fish are so cautious in tough condition in Japan and we are still in fortunate situation where fish are attacking poppers aggressively whether it is shallow or deep, let's put it that way.

Cheers,
Tak

Brandon Khoo:
I was quite surprised when Kenji expressed the viewed that he found stickbaits worked better in deep water. We've generally used big poppers exclusively in deep water but since our trip in October, I have to admit that big stickbaits do work well in deep water. I'm not not sure why.

Mick Rowley:
Guys,
this may seem like a stupid question but at roughly what depth of water do you refer to as deep? is it as simple as anywhere you can see the bottom as shallow and where you cant as deep?
Mick.

Tak Otsuka:
Hi Mick,

I tend to refer where I can see reefs and bommies as shallow and anything deeper as deep.

Cheers,
Tak

Kasey Leong:
Over maybe 30m of water...

The logic was that in deep water the fish might be hanging out deep and only with a big chugger and a loud sound would they be drawn or attracted to the surface to notice the commotion and hence bite.

With a stickbait, it is comparatively silent, so unless the GT is actively hunting at the top 20-30m and looking up, in deep water, why would they be more attracted?

Maybe something you could ask Tak.
