Mark Harris:
Logically, I would fully concur with Kasey. It is hard to see why a stickbait would raise a fish from the deep........
My experience is that in locations that have been popped to death over a long period, then big GTs will studiously ignore chuggers but be tempted by surface stickbaits. Bali is a very good example where he majority of fish in recent times over 15 kgs have been on surface sticks, but the smaller ones continue to smash poppers.

Guy's
having never really used stickbaits that much but knowing that i should, if in deep water what sort of sinking stickbaits are you using? i'm guessing there going to be fairly large and how far do you let them sink before starting your retrieve?

Brandon Khoo:
The most famous sinking stick bait of all is the Orion Bigfoot. The heaviest model, the 230 sinks fast. Over deep reefs or sea mounts, you can let these sink for quite a long time. Just don't let it get stuck on the bottom!
Mark Harris:
Bigfoots sure sink fast and are an excellent lure. Idiot here has snagged one on the bottom :-[.
I like the Heru Bobaras as well, and at the light end the ultra realistic sinking Shimano Ocea Pencils can be very effective when all else fails.
Gavin Swab:
Just wondering how many days per year do you guys fish? Seems to be a lot of talk here? I know have probably upset a few guys here in the last sentence , but I genuinely want to know...... Mark And Jay I have noticed
spend a lot of time here, and seem to know there stuff, So I presume they have spent the time on the water. I dont doubt that Luke and Brandon do also, I have racked up well over 350 hrs in a bit over 2 years . I work in the mines and work an even time roster, so I am out chasin GT alot. I have alot of success and alot of monster failures ( Shoalwater GT ) damn it ! So please let me know every ones thoughts.
