Breakwood Fishing Adventures
Breakwood Fishing Adventures is a premier fishing charter service based in Wells, Maine, specializing in Striped Bass fishing with a focus on fly fishing, live bait, and light tackle techniques. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, our trips are tailored for those chasing the unforgettable thrill of hooking into trophy-sized Stripers along the southern Maine coast.
Led by an experienced local captain, Breakwood Fishing Adventures offers a unique blend of versatility and precision, operating out of two purpose-built vessels:
A 25’ Parker Pilothouse, ideal for comfortable runs to nearshore and deeper waters, providing a stable platform for chasing large fish in changing coastal conditions.
A 20’ Hewes Flats Boat, perfect for stalking shallow flats, estuaries, and backwater creeks where big bass feed in skinny water — ideal for fly and sight fishing.
We focus on quality over quantity, targeting big fish with proven methods. Our approach blends stealth, skill, and local knowledge to put you in the right place at the right time — whether that’s throwing streamers to a surface blitz, drifting live bait along structure, or casting topwater plugs at dawn.
Trips include premium rods and reels, hand-picked tackle, safety equipment, and a dedication to creating a memorable, low-pressure, high-success experience on the water.
If you're looking to explore the rugged beauty of the Maine coast while hunting for your next personal best Striper, Breakwood Fishing Adventures delivers the trip you’ve been waiting for.

Dana CoughlinRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaptain Mike is the man!
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass - 1:00 PM on July 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Mike worked tirelessly to put us on the fish and we all had an amazing day. Captain Mike was in contact with us days before the trip and worked with us to avoid poor water conditions. We will be fishing here again next time out. Friendly reminder, weather conditions on the water are a lot different than weather conditions on land, if you want accurate weather forecasts for your trip use a marine forecast. Cheers

Brianna Wright5.0VerifiedFishing with Larry
4 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on July 18, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe had an incredible experience, he was so kind and understanding of my child who typically gets sea sick, constantly giving him pointers. He was quick to act on moving to new locations to better have luck. He really went out of his way to make sure we got the experience we were looking for. Highly recommended!
