Episode 102 - Espiritu Santo Bay Deep Dive: Tail End Lodge, Permit & Tarpon
Episode 1
Monday, 30 March, 2026

On this episode of the Men Podcast Joe Rotter sits down with travel manager Eric Nickum, Steve Joyce and guide Cam Short to break down a trip to Espiritu Santo Bay and the Tail End Lodge. They cover fishing highlights — permit, tarpon, bonefish and grand slams — plus the surprise of sargassum, memorable guide tips, and standout catches from the week. The guests also walk through logistics (flights to Tulum, a long beach drive), rod and leader setups, lodge life and hospitality, and practical advice for anglers planning their own trip to this increasingly popular and exclusive fishery.
