For that early morning mackerel run…

Darlene Joltki of Bob’s Bait Shack at 2 Revere St., in Winthrop, Mass., displays one of the store’s two 24-hour bait dispensers during a visit by Bernie Wideman and Joe Burke who were on a Points East delivery run recently. This particular machine  dispenses frozen mackerel, squid and clams. A second machine dispenses sand worms, nightcrawlers, lures and basic tackle. Joltki said sand worms are the most popular, selling 50 dozen on a good weekend.
