Glad you were safe. Hang in there.
Haven't posted in a while, but was looking forward to the cooler weather and getting back on some slabs. Mother nature had other plans. Here are a few of my fall and winter spots. The one with all the dead fish is Greenfield Lake, the dry lake is the big lake at Boiling Spring Lakes, washed out road is the back of Fishing Creek on hwy 421. If y'all know me you know my main spot is the Black River and will be unfishable for months. Me and mine made it through unharmed, that's the important thing. The fish will return. One day.

That is a terrible sight. Glad you are o.k. Thanks for those pics.
Wow, that's horrible.
Saw part of a news clip last night of firemen hosing off a highway of dead fish. Truly not a good site or smell. Glad you made out okay!
Why did the lakes dry up? Did their dams break in the flooding?
Yes, the dam at Boiling Spring broke. It was only 10 or 15 years ago that they drained the lake and rebuilt the dam. The fishery had only in recent years recovered.
Wow. That's not good.
The rivers will sub-side in time and you will be back on em on the black river. I am waiting on the northeast cape fear river to get back to normal again so I can get back after some slabs there. It will be a while but we just got to be patient. Glad you made it thru the storm we evacuated here and went west, did a little evacuation fishing while gone but the fish did not want to co-operate.
Difference between day and night: Day= one rod, one jig/Night= Many rods & a bucket full of minnersBigDawgg LIKED above post
