The images from Lake Lure and Chimney Rock in North Carolina are truly shocking. The damage left in the aftermath or Hurricane Helene was widespread across much of western North Carolina. Record flooding, high winds and torrential rain led to widespread destruction in town like Asheville, Old Fort and along Interstate 40 connecting North Carolina to Tennessee. Telephone, cellphone and internet outages were making it difficult for authorities to notify families of the dead. Officials said Sunday that 41 people were rescued in one area of Buncombe County on Saturday. New NCDOT video on Sunday showed tremendous damage to at least one direction of I-40 near Sylva with other areas eroded by the Pigeon River under the highway, which has receded from overflowing on Friday. The bend in the river in an I-40 stretch near the Tennessee line was at its banks Friday and early Saturday after Helene dumped more than 2 feet of rain on the mountains. Water from the river cut under parts of I-40 in areas that appeared normal from the surface.

Forward facing sonar has finally been banned in some professional bass fishing tournaments. Forward facing sonar, also known as Livescope, is a type of highly advanced fishfinder technology that many believe can make catching fish easy to the point of being unfair.

Any fish that is caught by a lure can be caught easier by fishermen that have masted this technology. Lowrance, Garmin, and Humminbird all have their version of forward facing sonar that angler are utilizing to catch more fish. In the bass fishing community many anglers are calling for a ban on forward facing sonar. At this stage in the game, banning forward facing sonar would change the bass fishing industry dramatically.

In this catfish fishing podcast I am on the water fishing when I tape this podcast to discuss the catfish spawn, what happened to my Lund catfish fishing boat, and everything else in the catfishing world. My Honda outboard motor was part of the problem, in particular the water pump impeller in the Honda boat motor. Luckily I had a second boat I could use on all my catfishing trips. That Carolina skiff has served me well as a catfish boat for many years and still does.

Have you ever wondered, what is a pay lake? If you fish for catfish, you probably want to catch a really big catfish at some point.

For most catfish fishermen this means fishing for catfish in a local lake or river. For others, who are not near bodies of water with catfish, this means fishing in a pay-to-fish-lake, also known as a pay lake.

Paylakes are places where you pay to fish in a private lake that is stocked with catfish from a public body of water. In this video podcast I will discuss what pay lakes are and how they impact the catfishing world.

Some of the biggest catfish in America are caught in public water and transported to pay lakes where people pay to fish for them. Fishing for giant catfish in pay to fish lakes is nothing new. The catfish pay lakes have been around a long time and are very popular.
