Best of the Bay Whether it’s for eating, anchoring, fishing or just hanging around and having fun, our readers once again reveal their favorite places to go and things to do on the Bay.

The great fishing went without saying. Me & My Boat Smitten—Mary K. Reid took one look across a crowded boatyard and saw the boat of her dreams. Trading Places Dream Builder—Peter Boudreau has built plenty of beautiful boats in his day, the Pride of Baltimore II among them. By Wendy Mitman Clarke Angler’s Almanac Grass is a Gas—With the Bay’s underwater grasses gradually recovering, says John Page Williams, it makes sense to learn the tricks of grass-bed fishing.
