I have a great guide service I've used if you are interested and they can recommend lodging depending on where you want to fish out of. They have many launch points they use based on the timing and client needs. PM me if you want the contact info. Really a great river and fishery. World Class.

kcritch beat me to it. A susky SM trip out of the Harrisburg area is as close to a sure thing as you can get. Late April may be a tad early but might put you in the market for a giant. Get into early May and you can boat 100 fish with two guys, no exaggeration. During my last trip in early May my partner and I landed 94 and most were nice 2-3 lb cookie cutters. Not bragging, this is common if you time it right and river conditions are favorable. Granted, river conditions are going to dictate your success and you can't always control the timing of what Mother Nature is going to do. Most guides run jet boats and can spot hop the entire day, there are so many holes. You can also treat him to a Marlin trip out of Kona, HI too...
