On Cordell Hull Lake, Wildwood Resort and Marina staffs a fleet of 14-foot G3 Jon boats built for skinny-water exploration and targeted bass, walleye, and crappie angling. These simple, low-profile rigs—equipped with a 15hp Yamaha, trolling motor, GPS and depthfinder—are tuned to the coves and channels that make this Tennessee lake a favorite among anglers.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A lean 14' Jon built for lake coves

The 14' G3 Jon follows a purpose-first design: a small-footprint hull with a 15hp Yamaha and a trolling motor that lets you work shoreline structure and narrow coves where bass, walleye and crappie stage.

THE SETUP

Electronics and safety onboard

Each rental comes with GPS and a depthfinder to scout structure, plus life jackets provided for adults and teens to keep safety on point during outings.

THE LAKE

Cordell Hull’s pocket water and fishable structure

Wildwood’s Jon boats are optimized to access the lake’s coves and shallows—prime zones for hooking trophy bass, walleye, or crappie in a single, well-equipped day on the water.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

Launch from the resort, slip into a low, quiet Jon, and set a course for the coves and fingers of Cordell Hull Lake. The combination of a modest 15hp outboard and a trolling motor gives precise control for casting tight to shoreline structure; GPS and a depthfinder speed the search for fish-holding breaks and drop-offs. Whether you run a half day or a full day, the rental is a straightforward, hands-on way to spend a productive day fishing the lake.

3
Families with TeensReasonable for families with teens—life jackets are provided for adults and teens—but space is limited to two occupants.
