Local Tips & Conditions
Night fishing in Wells offers unique advantages for targeting Striped Bass and other species. The waters around Wells Harbor feature a mix of channels, sandbars, and structure that hold bait and attract predatory fish after dark. Captain Jeff monitors tide schedules carefully, as moving water during tide changes typically triggers the best feeding activity. Summer evenings in Maine are generally comfortable, though bringing a light jacket is recommended as temperatures can drop after sunset.
Weather conditions play an important role in night fishing success. Cloudy evenings often produce the best results, as they provide additional cover for predatory fish. Captain Jeff stays informed on weather patterns and moon phases to optimize your fishing experience. His local knowledge of Wells Harbor and surrounding waters ensures you'll be fishing the most productive areas based on current conditions.
