Center console boats bring serious fishing capability to Knoxville's TVA reservoir system, and the angling opportunities here rival anything in the Southeast. Fort Loudoun Lake produces trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass, Watts Bar is known for its striped bass fishery, and Norris Lake's clear water supports excellent smallmouth and walleye populations. A center console gives you 360-degree fishability, rod storage, livewells, and the kind of open deck space that makes fighting a big fish or managing multiple anglers comfortable. While center consoles have deep roots in saltwater, they are increasingly popular on large freshwater reservoirs where anglers want to cover water quickly and fish open structure. The outboard power, self-bailing deck, and T-top shade that define the category all translate directly to East Tennessee conditions — particularly on bigger water like Watts Bar and the lower reaches of Fort Loudoun where wind chop can build through the afternoon. Premier Watersports' West Knoxville showroom carries center consoles suited for freshwater use, from compact 18-foot bay-style boats ideal for solo fishing trips to 22-foot models with enough seating and amenities for a mixed family-and-fishing day. Our team can help you pair the right hull with the right outboard for the lakes you fish most.
