Used the Stunna 112 in Shad color to locate largemouth in/near deeper channel swings. Larger fish were caught slowly swimming small swimbaits (3.3 inch Fat Swing) parallel in 15-20 fow. Some as deep as 25 feet. Fish were near the bottom but would come up 5-10 feet to hit lures as water was fairly clear.
