Cumberland stripers

I'm thinking of getting out of work one day this week and pulling some bait around in the early morning. Would main lake be the place to be?

Main lake I have heard works. They are definitely out there. I have heard them at night. They are up in the creeks too. Caught some good sized ones (26- almost 30") about half way up creek last weekend in the morning and before dark. The key (for me) was fishin 20' or deeper. I pulled bait also at 14' to surface and only caught channel cats. Every day I found stationary schools (hour or more) off points and steeper walls in 35-45 feet of water and also one evening 45' deep fish (comfirmed) in 60 feet of water. They weren't moving much which I guess means they were inactive but they would take alewives if you could stay over them.

Contradicting the above, one was very shallow and very lose to the bank.
