Local Tips & Conditions
Night fishing in Wells requires different approaches than daytime angling. Water temperatures in July typically range from 62-68°F, perfect for active Striped Bass. During evening hours, these fish often move into shallower waters to feed, making them more accessible to anglers. Weather conditions can change quickly on Maine waters, so Captain Jeff constantly monitors forecasts to ensure both safety and productive fishing.
The incoming tide during evening hours often produces the best bite, especially around structure and current breaks. While night fishing presents unique challenges, Captain Jeff provides all necessary specialized equipment including proper lighting and high-visibility gear to make the experience enjoyable even for first-time night anglers. Clients should dress in layers as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset, even during summer months.
