Hello to you, and everyone else, also from Pennsylvania. Specifically the Poconos. You defenitely want to check out the Lehigh Valley Kayak Bass Fishing Club. Fairly new club but seem like a great bunch of guys. I am new to kayaking and everyone has been very helpful. They have tournaments within a short drive from you, including Beltzville, Mauchunk. Check their website.
