Cast & Blast

In partnership with Visit Lake Charles, G&G hosted its ninth annual Cast & Blast at Grosse Savanne Lodge in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Over the weekend, guests set out on two fishing excursions for redfish, flounder, and trophy bass, and joined two early-morning teal hunts. Evenings brought signature cocktails and game dinners from Grosse Savanne head chef Matt Whitney, a celebration of South Louisiana’s regional flavors. Before heading home, each guest received a belt from Mobjak, a gift from a weekend spent on the water and in the marsh.
