Highlights of Extended Half Day Night Striped Bass Fishing Trip in Maine
Night fishing in Wells offers a completely different experience from daytime charters. As the sun sets, the waters around Wells Harbor transform, with larger Striped Bass becoming more active in the cooler nighttime temperatures. Previous trips have landed impressive catches, including a monster 44-inch Striped Bass and solid 41-inch White Bass during peak summer conditions.
Our approach combines multiple fishing techniques—surf casting, trolling, and bait fishing—to maximize your chances of success. The 6-hour timeframe gives us ample opportunity to find productive spots as conditions change throughout the evening. Captain Jeff's local knowledge ensures you'll be in the right place at the right time when the bite is on.
Local Tips & Conditions
Wells Harbor provides excellent access to prime night fishing spots along the Maine coast. Summer evenings in Wells typically offer ideal conditions, with moderate temperatures and often some cloud cover that can enhance the night bite. The local waters feature a mix of structure that holds baitfish, attracting predatory species like Striped Bass after dark.
For best results, we time our trips around tidal movement, which concentrates feeding activity. While daytime fishing can be productive, the reduced boat traffic and cooler water temperatures at night often trigger more aggressive strikes from larger fish. This adventure is suitable for anglers of all experience levels—no prior night fishing experience required.
