In partnership with Visit Lake Charles, Garden & Gun held its seventh annual Cast & Blast event at Grosse Savanne Lodge in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The weekend featured two fishing excursions for redfish, flounder, and trophy bass, along with two morning hunts marking the opening weekend of teal season. Throughout the event, guests were treated to signature cocktails and gourmet game dinners prepared by Grosse Savanne head chef Matt Whitney, featuring regional specialties.
