Welcome to Bass and the Board.
I've heard Kayaks can be kinda hazardous on UL, if it gets real windy/wavy.
There are a number of good bass lakes around. You'll find 'em in some rivers too. Pineview and Willard both sport some quality bass if you can find 'em. Some folks do well on Smallies at Starvation. Mantua may be a bit farther for you, but it's a nice smaller lake - good for 'yaking abouts. Only LMB there - but it's a pretty nutrient rich lake.
As for a finder - anything that helps you find fish or structure can only help. As they say "you can't catch em where the ain't". I fish some shallow murky water where the finder doesn't do squat for me, but especially bigger lakes, knowing the depth alone can be valuable. Being able to spot schools of bait fish, and bigger lunkers - well worth it.
