MONDAY MORNING UP-DATE

GOOD MORNING FROM THE SPECKLED TROUT CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, HACKBERRY ROD AND GUN IN LEDGENDARY HACKBERRY, LOUISIANA

May opened with howling winds from the north but our friends from McCormick/Benekeith from San Antonio spent a weekend of fun, fellowship and fishing. Schools of redfish and diving seagulls looking for a free meal of frantic shrimp pointed the way to speckled trout. It seems that each week I’m highlighting another angler here at the lodge that has either caught a nice fish or done something special. This week it’s Joan DiGiovanna and she did BOTH. Check this out  . . . . . Joan not only caught a super redfish on Pooh Buddy’s beach but was so excited about coming to Hackberry Rod & Gun she had her finger and toe nails painted with FISH for the trip. (Picture attached) YOU GO GIRL !!!!

Don’t miss fishing this spring and early summer here at the lodge. The action has been unbelievable even during the windy days, so call toll free at 1.888.762.3391 and let’s get you hooked up with a fishing trip you won’t soon forget. Fishing will only get better as the warmer days of summer continue to heat up the lake.

I have attached a few pictures from the last couple of days and you can see more of these great trips by clicking the link below and drooling. http://www.hackberryrodandgun.com/mediagallery/album.php?aid=2

My thought. . . . . . . Desire is the most important factor in the success of any goal.
