Chasing an Inshore Grand Slam in Tarpon Country

A skinny strip of land due east of Fort Myers, FL, Pine Island is home to Tarpon Lodge, a 100-year-old resort that is a gateway to incredible inshore fishing protected by surrounding islands like Captiva, Sanibel and Cayo Costa. Featured species: tarpon, snook, speckled trout and redfish. Tyler Wald (@SunsOutFishing) and Brent Schirmer (@SeeYaDude) set up shop at Tarpon Lodge to tackle a series of fishing challenges, including an inshore grand slam. Traveling to remote locations and fishing skinny, oyster bar-strewn waters is easier when you have the Mako 18 Pro Skiff being towed by General Tire’s General Grabber AT/X all-terrain tires.
