Mark N. Cahill has been writing and editing for Reel-Time.com since 1995. He started fishing in the mid-1960's and caught his first striper off World's End in Hingham in 1966.

The International Tuna Cup still exists we have participated the last four years. It is a great time if you would like to participate contact me and we can get you hooked up with a great boat. The tournament is now held in North Lake Prince Edward Island.
