Back in Winthrop Report
Thanks for reading this Back in Winthrop report. Our friend Maryann had mechanical issues with her car, so we escorted her home. We hope to go back to Maine.

Tuesday we went to Dorchester Brewing Company, home of the Museum of Bad Art. We took the T! Frankly, the exhibition was a little disappointing. We then went to Regina Pizzaria, which was also disappointing. Finally, we took the ferry back to Winthrop, which was awesome. A boat tour of Boston Harbor!
In the evening we watched the full moon emerge out of Boston Harbor, blood red, spectacular.
Wednesday found me hiking through the Mass. Audubon Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield- gorgeous. I hadn’t been there in years. It’s almost exactly like I remember it.
Thursday found me visiting Bob’s Bait and Tackle in Winthrop. I wanted Owner Twist-Lock hooks, size 3/0. They didn’t have them, but had a small selection of beautiful striped bass plugs. It was a nice walk, though. Night pluggers have been getting a few bass from the beach. I may have to take an afternoon nap so I can get out there and join them.
Looking towards Boston after sunset.
OK, nap taken, a night trip to the beach was in order. A fish whacked my popper out of the gate. It was a missed strike, the only one I got. There were some other guys out there, though. I watched one pull in a striper that was taped at 46 inches, a real fish.
Friday found me out on the beach at high tide, around 1 PM. A Bait Buster was on my line. A fish came up and gave it a look, the only action I had in a couple hours. Maybe another night trip is in order…
That’s the Back in Winthrop Report. Thanks for reading!
Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! Go paddling! Take a walk! Stay active!
