Local Tips & Conditions
When night fishing in Wells, Maine during summer months, water temperatures and tidal patterns play crucial roles in fishing success. The incoming tide often brings baitfish closer to shore, creating prime feeding opportunities for Striped Bass.

Weather conditions impact our strategy significantly—cloud cover often increases fish activity as they feel more comfortable moving into shallower water. During July, we focus on structure near deeper channels where bass stage before moving to feed.
