Anyone been to Grosse Savanne?

I have been several times and I would say it is worth it especially if you are entertaining clients. They take care of everything. A trip like this is much more enjoyable if you stay the second night. You wont feel rushed and have to enjoy and relax.
If you are going to just do a quick cast and blast you could probably find something cheaper.

They book up fast so you may want to check availability before you mention it to anyone.

I went with a friend and his dad in July for a fishing trip and thought it was awesome. Definitely one of my top outdoor experiences. It's the kind of place you just sit back and relax and they take care of absolutely everything.

Nice lodge with tvs, couches, screen porch, etc,. Open bar with snacks available the whole time to make you own drinks. Great food all four meals we ate there, including filet one night and huge crab cakes the next. Really hospitable staff and guides that made it very enjoyable.

We fished Big Lake one morning/afternoon for specks and did well, but the highlight was a morning fishing trip to their 500+ acre private bass lake. That was the most fun I've ever had fishing. Caught 75+ bass all in the 2-5 pound range in about 2 hours all while drinking beer and shootin' the shite with the guide.

I can't wait to go back for another trip. Wanna do I cast and blast when I get time.

ETA: I will add that I did not pay for it, but did hear them settling up at the end and for 4 people to stay 2 nights, eat 4 meals, fish three times, and each get a fishing shirt it was $3,300 total not including tips.

Been several times. You won't find a nicer set up in SWLA imo. Yes its pricey, but its nice and worth it. First class operation all the way.

The company I used to work for held client appreciate hunts down there for an entire weekend. It was fun and relaxing.

We got lucky and I was s groomsman in a wedding where the groom had an uncle that was close friends with owner. They got us a huge huge deal as we were all broke college kids or just out of school.

Classy operation. Huge lounge room, great view, more lodging than you know what to do with, and they take care of everything. The dinners were awesome events and all the folks there were awesome.

We did a dove blast and salt water cast.

I've been invited on business trip last two years in a row and couldn't make either one. Pretty disappointed it didn't work out either time

Sounds like it's a first class operation. Their website says 1k per person for a blast and cast. I'm just not seeing this though, that's high as giraffe pussy

Oh, it's high as can be. I can see it's only use as a business function where you try to provide a helluva an experience for your customers

But for me I'd rather have a kick fire, bourbon, and scratch w friends than spend my cash to go myself

I think it's an Orvis approved operation so I guess that gives them a greenlight to charge a premium because of the great service/accomidations they offer. I have never heard anybody that has been complain but I think the place caters to the upper end corporate world and I doubt those people are going to get on places like the OB and drop the hammer if it sucked.

I just took my dad over there for a three day trip this past April. As stated above, the highlight of our trip was the 500 acre lake. We caught more than 100 two to six pound largemouths in a couple of hours...all on topwaters. The morning before we checked in, a young rep from Hobie pulled a 12 pounder out of the lake. We hammered reds in the marsh and went back to the bass lake for limits of crappie to bring home. The food, kitchen staff and guides are all top notch and worth every penny. Go!
