Man, I hope you get into them hard and heavy. You sound like me 50 years ago! Give it time, it will be on before you know it. If you plan on fishing the pier at Allison creek you better get on out there and hold your spot. I mean camp out on the pier. LOL. You will not be alone I promise you. Do be afraid to walk the bank from the pier up to the power lines toward the Hwy 274 bridge there have been many caught wading along there. If you decide to walk the bank try a cork with your favorite jig a few feet under it and cast out jigging it slowly back to the bank. Good luck!
