Paintsville Lake

Never fished at Paintsville Lake, its only about 90 miles from me and was wanting to give it a try, I seen where it has stripers in the lake, I have fished for stripers in Tn on Cherokee Lake and Norris Lake and was wondering how good the striper fishing was at this lake, also fish for large and small mouth bass as well, any info would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely not an expert, but I've fished it a few times, and never for striper. None of the guys that I know who fish it regularly fish for striper, if that tells you anything.

Best trips were pre-spawn with downsized plastics (4" worms, tubes, etc.).

Thanks for the info, I have found out that the striper fishing there is poor or fair.
