Hi James,
A brief but sincere thanks for the fine half day we spent on the water. Photos came out good. Thanks for working with Elizabeth on the casting; we're both rusty as heck. I suspect I'd have hooked one eventually, but I wanted E to give it a go.
Thanks again, James. Next time join us for dinner at Pompano.

Thanks again for the great days fishing last week. I never casted to so many bonefish in two days, and never hooked up to three in a morning, much less landing two . Thanks to your help, I also casted to more while wading at Cambridge Beaches. They followed, but never ate the fly. As far as I'm concerned, you're the best. Can't wait till my next trip to Bermuda to try again. -Dennis P. Lahiff - USA

This was forwarded to us -
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Pearman. He is a excellent guide - we had a great morning even though we didn't catch anything ( bone fishing is uniquely challenging the first few times). We saw about 15 fish, one school of about 6. Neil
James, just wanted to say thanks for a great time. All three of us had fun and are still talking about the one that got away. Dave - USA
Thank you both so very much for a great evening yesterday. We had real fun. I enjoyed the chance of having a rod in my hands! Shame about the one that got away, though. Wendy - Bermuda
No matter how good a man gets at fishing, he'll never land every fish he hooks.
