Cumberland and Laural River in Early October

I'm taking my annual trip in the first week of October, will be on the water for 4 days and nights, one of my favorite times to fish is at night so when not pounding the banks I like to set out lights and relax and fish.I am a fairly recent transplant and have had some success fishing these lakes but have not night fished them. Any hints would be appreciated.Bait setups ect...
I use to fish high mountain lakes that held lots of crawdads and always put out the traps, there is not many things better than a boil of fresh cradads,is this something that is very successfull on either of these lakes.
Thanks ill post up either way

Laural was closed that's to our boys in washington.Cumberland was great limits everyday.now the crappy part here i am on the trolling motor cruising back from the dam at 7 pm. Well my main motor wentdown its a 130 honda all I hear is an alarm from the dash and clicking from the motor.I leave north of Georgetown anyone know reputable shop where i can take my boat?

About the fishing, I caught 6-7 stripers a day ( primarily morning snd evening) just chasing the jumps and throwing a bone color large Spook.Nothing to big just cookie cutter 24"-26" fish.During the days just relaxted and caught bass nothing to big 14" drop shoting MM2 6" worms.caught a couple what I assume where flat head cats .During a massive downpour I caught a hybrid on white fluke, I thought it was a real football shaped striper until I looked a little closer.All in all a good three days on the lake.
