Speckled Trout Smash Fest

Another great day with the Gainnie Lumber crew! This trip had all the ingredients for a fun morning—calm water, cooperative speckled trout, and a great group of anglers. The crew stayed busy throughout the trip, putting together a nice box of quality trout while enjoying everything South Louisiana has to offer. We always appreciate the opportunity to fish with the Gainnie Lumber team and are grateful for their continued business. Looking forward to the next trip!

Day 2 with Frank McCreery and his family was a perfect way to wrap up their trip. The trout stayed hungry, keeping everyone busy throughout the morning. Before heading in, we decided to add a little more excitement by hooking into a couple of bull redfish. There’s nothing quite like hearing the drag scream after a morning of catching trout. It was great having Frank and his family back after all these years. Seeing returning guests leave with smiles, coolers full of fish, and new memories is one of the best parts of this job. Thank you again for making the trip from Virginia. I hope it won’t be long before we do it all again!

Day 1 with Frank McCreery and his family was one I had been looking forward to. Frank and his family traveled down from Virginia and hadn’t fished with me in several years. It’s always special when returning guests come back after a long break, and this trip picked up right where the last one left off. Once we figured out the pattern, everyone got in on steady action and caught some quality fish. Watching families reconnect over a great day on the water is one of the best parts of being a guide. Frank, thank you and your family for making the trip back to South Louisiana. It was a pleasure having y’all aboard again, and I hope it won’t be as long before the next visit!
