1) Reasor's will work fine there is a $5 launch fee.
2) On the way to Reasor's you will come to a 4 way intersection on Stark Road (no matter which way you come from). There is a Valero service station on the corner. They have all different kinds of bait.
3) I don't troll much on Jackson but if I did I would use the following 2 inch curly tails: acid rain, John Deer, blue/blk/char, bubble gum, blk/char. Also consider slider grubs, stb grubs and tiny flukes. Good Luck!
