          Put your striped bass knowledge to work when the coastline goes dark.

Fishing after sunset adds an extra layer of concentration, making every cast and adjustment more intentional. Premium rods, reels, and bait are provided, while guests should bring a Maine fishing license and a cooler for their catch. Meet at Wells Harbor Master in Wells, Maine, and spend the evening putting your striper skills to work under the stars.
