Norris Lake....Help please

[fisherman0625]

Going to Norris on vacation and was wondering if anyone could help me with somewhere to stay. Looking for a cottage or a cabin or something. Also I dont know much about norris, so if anyone could give me an idea to start for smallmouth. Thanks in advance.

andersonville is about the center of the lake... the part of the lake its in is the loyston sea..... there is some good places to fish around there thats where the powell and clinch river come in and the water is pretty deep...but be careful when running there is some sunken islands out there though... just look at the map and u can see the offshore structure...

I'm in Corbin so I usually go straight down I-75 to Mountain Lake Marina, I believe it is the exit right past Lake City, TN. It's only about 5 miles off the interstate. They have cabins and a small motel, it is not bad. They also have a website just google it for more info. The marina is on cove creek and all up and down that creek i have had good luck with smallies. Find a point and fish a tube or small pig and jig then hold on.
Good luck!
