If you are looking for a boat for sale in Wewahitchka, here is what you should know.

Wewahitchka boarders more than two bodies of water

Although the most people only see two bodies of water for Wewahitchka, there are quite a few within its borders. The primary is Dead Lakes, then you have Lands Lake, a lake at W. Lakeview Drive, Lake Shippey, Lake Alice, Lake Julia, a pond off of Folsom Rd, and another small pond of off W. Arm Dr. To the north of Wewahitchka is the Dead Lakes State Recreation area which has two smaller lakes for it. SO, while there are two main bodies of water for Wewahitchka, there are several possibilities available in the immediate area for those who wish to freshwater fish.

Fishing in the Dead Lakes

Dead Lakes are 6,700 acres of dark water along the Chipola River. There are several boat ramps along the stretch, including one near Gary Rowell, Calhoun County, and in various fish camps around the Lakes. Fish common to Dead lakes include Largemouth bass, Yellow Perch, Bluegil, and Readear sunfish. Boatmen who have fished in the river, suggest that a bass boats, skiffs, and fisharounds on the water. While the depth of the river allows for larger boats, it is suggested that outboards remain singular for the best navigation.

Gulf of Mexico access and boating

There are two main ways in which to access the Gulf from Wewahitchka. The first method is to take 22 to 30 and launch your vessel around Panama City. The problem with this is that Panama City is a dense tourist location and therefore you may find that boat docks are limited. Secondly, the East bay as well as Shell Island blocks direct access.

The Second method for accessing the Gulf is to take 386 to Beacon Hill and launch your boat from there. The access point will be around Mexico beach. As there are no sandbars in the area to block access, and as this is a bit further down the road from the main tourist locations, you may have more luck, especially if the boat is a cabin cruiser, larger center console, or offshore angler vessel.

A third option is available, but like the first option, it does not put you directly in the Gulf. This option is to travel down to St. Joseph Bay and then navigate around the bay to the Gulf.

What are the typical boats for sale in Wewahitchka?

The typical boats that you will find will be in the mid-range length. As this area is more residential then tourist oriented, owners have the ability to store larger vessels on their property. Additionally, the proximity to the Gulf suggests that more owners will choose to have dual purpose boats (meaning they can use the boat on Dead Lakes as well as on the Gulf). Look for boats which have transferable warranties, boats which have special packaging for angling and for leisure cruising (depending upon your desired need), and those which come with boat trailers.
