I'd suggest for such a momentous occasion you hire one of the guides on the lake. There's a ton of them for you to choose from.

Start in the area of the dam, very good drifting there...
Try shoe string for a place to stay or anchor inn...
Shoe string is closer to the dam
Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Your awesome to do this for him. Good luck out there and mind the wind that thing turns into a washing machine at 20 miles an hour

Take him over by the dam the riprock there holds a lot of cats. Also the timber on the northern part of the lake hold a lot of cats as well.
Get a good quality punch bait and fish it until you hit your limit!

Yeah get ya a guide, especially with a gentleman that old, I don't want to assume anything, but if he's that old he may need some special assistance.
Also that way you can focus on spending good time with him instead of fiddling with boats and bait and what not.
I've only gone with the Littlejohn's, had a great time. However, I've heard great things about all of them.

shoe string for a place to stay
I'm there the whole first week of may. Hoping blues are still around. If not, then stripers,channels, and crappie
