This is called Duck Hollow (Turd Hollow by some). There is a combined sewage overflow, about 20 yards up stream of the mouth of the creek. Do not fish, and especially, do not wade, when there are storms forecasted or 2-3 days after a good downpour. It gets disgusting down there after.
That said, when the water hits about 55-60 degrees, the white bass and wipers will show up around the creek mouth. Small mouth and sauger will be around with the water temps a bit higher. I think most guys cat fish from the "pier". I used to live about a mile from there, and fished a lot. If it is more than a mile or two from your house, it is not really worth a trip. I wouldn't expect too much from there in the middle of the summer, but who knows.
If you are lucky enough to be there soon after the CSO's open, carp line up to bath in the raw sewage, like the Pymie spillway bread line. Interesting to see, but would suggest not fishing in that filth, until the river has had a chance to wash some of that waste out a bit.
