The 6-hour duration provides ample time to explore multiple productive spots throughout the evening. Captain Jeff employs various techniques including surf casting, trolling, and bait fishing to maximize your chances of success.

Local Tips & Conditions
Wells Harbor offers ideal conditions for night striped bass fishing during summer months. The incoming tide often brings baitfish closer to shore, with stripers following close behind. Cloud cover, as mentioned in previous trips, can actually enhance the night bite by reducing ambient light and making predatory fish more comfortable moving into shallower water.
Water temperatures in July typically range between 65-75°F – perfect for active striped bass. For best results, Captain Jeff recommends being prepared for changing conditions throughout the night. The charter uses specialized lighting that won't spook the fish while ensuring safety on board. Anglers of all skill levels are welcome, as Captain Jeff provides hands-on instruction tailored to your experience.
