Inshore Grand Slam – The Crown Jewel of the Saltwater Flats

Of all the the Caribbean fly fishing opportunities, the inshore grand slam is one of the most challenging and unique scenarios to achieve.

The Caribbean will have grand slam opportunities year-round depending upon where you fish.

Some areas will provide a diversity of species throughout all twelve months of the year, while others in the region will provide opportunities within only specific months of the year. Talking with Outdoors International can help you figure out the best flats fishing locations to pursue when you decide to plan your trip. Besides the planning aspect, if a grand slam is a goal, the biggest step anyone should take to prepare is to practice casting.

The Inshore Grand Slam

Any combination of the following three fish in a single day constitute an IGFA certified Inshore Grand Slam.  If you catch all four of these inshore game fish in a day, it is considered an Inshore Super Grand Slam.

• Bonefish
• Permit
• Snook
• Tarpon

*You do not have to keep, weigh or kill a fish in order to qualify for an Inshore Grand Slam like you would for a world record. All you need to do is take a picture with the angler and the contact information of the captain, guide or other witness.

Second time I’ve done this particular trip. The steelhead run was awesome! The food was even better than the first time, which is hard to imagine, and our guide is the best there is! If catching big fish is your thing I highly recommend booking through Outdoors International.

We had an incredible time fishing in Mexico. We've already booked our next trip and can't wait to go back!

Mark Stasz

I expected big trout on this trip based on all the stories I've read over the years, and I was not disappointed! I broke my own personal best rainbow trout record at least SIX times on this trip, with the biggest being a 16 pound beauty.

I will be going again soon!
