Local fishing guide

Common here: striped bass · bluefish · mackerel · Access: surf / river mouth / jetty

Wells is where the big Maine tidal range (8-10 feet) meets a sandy barrier beach — the Webhannet River drains the marsh at its north end, and striped bass treat the outflow like a conveyor belt.

What runs when

  • Striped bass: June through September, the whole game. Schoolies on the beach, keepers at the river mouth; dawn and dusk around moving water.
  • Bluefish: July-August, chopping bait in the surf on calm days.
  • Atlantic mackerel: early summer, jigged from the jetty when they push inshore.

Where to cast

Wells Beach at the north end near the jetty on the incoming; the Webhannet mouth on the outgoing when the current pours out over the bar. Waders help at dawn; midday it’s a beach-chair fishery.

Tide timing here

Nine feet of range means the water moves fast and the beach shape changes completely between high and low. Fish the last two hours of the rise into the river mouth — that’s exactly the fishing window printed on this page.

Rules to know

Maine striped bass rules are slot-based with circle-hook requirements for bait. Recreational rules at Maine DMR.
