Coming down tomorrow morning

[buckcreekmike]

I am headed down from Kansas City tomorrow with my dad and father in law. Will be in father in laws fishing pontoon. Not the swiftest vessel on the lake, so won't be able to run too far too quick. Staying near clevinger branch. Sounds like they may be just about anywhere- points, backs of pockets and creeks etc.  father in law is not the greatest fisherman ( not that I am either), so any suggestions?  I have most any of the staples as far as lures, Ned, spoons, plopper, spook, jig, etc. if I was to guess I may try some tapering points with spoon or Ned or jig. Would like to get some topwater. Maybe in the backs of pockets where shad are present?

mainly just excited and wanted to get some fishing talk going. Good luck to everyone this weekend. 

By the way, I was at LOZ last Saturday and couldn't catch a cold. Feels like I'm cursed these days!
