Eddie DohertyEddie Doherty fished the East End of the Cape Cod Canal so often that other fishermen started calling him East End Eddie, thus a nickname became a pen name. Doherty is a graduate of Dominican Academy, Attleboro High School and the University of SouthFlorida. He worked for almost 37 years in the Massachusetts Court system where he became the youngest Assistant Clerk-Magistrate in the state at age 25 for the Attleboro District Court before being appointed 18 years later to the lifetime position of Clerk-Magistrate of the Wrentham District Court by His Excellency, A. Paul Cellucci, Governor of the Commonwealth. He was honored to be chosen as the recipient of the Amicus Curiae Award by the Norfolk County Bar Association, founded in 1797. Having seen so much domestic violence in court, the author will donate a percentage of the book's proceeds to Jane Doe Inc. in an effort to help combat this horrific crime. He heard evidence on everything from speeding to murder, but now in retirement is hearing the sound of his grandchildren giggle and of striped bass breaking the surface of the ocean. Doherty is the author of SEVEN MILES AFTER SUNDOWN Surfcasting for Striped Bass Along the World-Famous Cape Cod Canal, announced as the #1 New Release in Fishing on Amazon and voted an Award-Winning Finalist in the Sports Category at the 2019 International Book Awards in Los Angeles. He wrote a column for the Falmouth Enterprise and has been published in Cape Cod Magazine, On The Water, The Fisherman Magazine, Cape Cod Times, The Boston Globe, The Sun Chronicle, Cape Cod Life, Coastal Angler Magazine and the Congressional Record. He is a member of the Canal Sportsman's Club, fished in the Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal Fisherman's Classic and his striped bass entry won the shore division in his first Buzzards Bay Anglers Club Fall Derby. Doherty does a monthly cable segment on Bourne TV and his written stories combined with his weekly video Canal Report for subscribers of The Fisherman reach over 60,000. He lives close to the Cape Cod Canal in Mattapoisett with his wife Joanne who is affectionately known as J. Do. They were lucky to be blessed with the birth of five healthy grandchildren to enjoy in retirement. His colleagues knew that he would be spending time teaching his young grandkids to fish so on his last day on the job they presented him with many generous gifts including a nice shirt that is embroidered with the words RETIREMENT - STRIPERS & DIAPERS!
