Don't forget Wylie Flounder and CutBilled Swordfish

No striper in Wylie. Don't get me started on that one.

Sounds like you know about the nuclear bridge. It is just past the nuclear plant (4850 Concord Rd, York, SC 29745) on the right side of the road. Just before you get to the bridge you'll see the fence that blocks off the entry to the cat walk. (If there is a hole in the gate you might try to fish from the cat walk but don't get caught.) You just walk down the hill and find the path that goes to the cat walk or go on down to the water and hang a left and walk to the bridge. Good luck under the bridge. Like said cast out with a slip cork and the first structure is around 15 foot anything father out is around 18-26 foot. I am sorry you don't have a boat because that's going to hold you back on a lot of fishing. Only a few spots you can get to on the bank. It's been discussed here before. The pier on Big Allison is a good spot, you can at least walk the banks to the left and find deep water under the power lines. To the right of pier the high banks is fairly deep and on around to the boat ramps is around 15 foot deep. You can catch just about any fish except stripers. Hope this helps you.

I believe you would try to pull one on someone sometime. Just for the of it.

If you don't see a tall guy named Larry who doesn't talk a whole lot, fishing at the Allison Creek pier, they ain't biting. Larry and I would nail them crappie under the power lines when the water was low and we were able to walk to the crappie holes.

Larry is in jail.
He refused to talk to the cops
