The Captain
Captain Nick has been taking anglers of all ages, abilities, and disabilities striper fishing in Wells fishing for over 15 years, out of beautiful Wells Harbor, Maine. A native of Southampton Massachusetts, Nick has been traveling to Maine since he was a toddler. Spending summers in Ogunquit as often as his Grandmother would take him, he grew to love the area. Fishing with his brother and grandfather off the Ogunquit bridge and Wells Harbor jetties, Nick developed a passion for striped bass fishing.
During his studies as a fish and wildlife major at Paul Smith's College in New York, he was introduced to Capt. Whit of Captain Satch and Sons Fishing charters Wells Maine and started employment there in 2010. Starting as a mate, he quickly earned the title of Maine Tidewater Guide and then earned his U.S.C.G. 50 ton Master Inland license.

Miss Helen
Miss Helen is a 1986 Shamrock cuddy, powered with a freshly rebuilt 351W Ford. Fixed seating, open rear deck, and a porta potty gives a nice ride for 5 anglers but can accommodate 6 passengers total. She may be old and loud, but she is a stable boat for rough seas (trust me).
Location
362 Harbor Rd, Wells, ME
We are located on the main pier just past the Harbormasters office. Free parking is available either in the main lot or in the dirt lot on the left with the boat trailers. Bathrooms are located just across from the dirt lot in the grey outbuilding. There is also a nice park and playground along the tidal river for those who are not joining the crew fishing or even if you do.
