Tournament Fishermen North Of Perimeter In Atlanta?

I am a novice fisherman but have been able to land some decent bass since picking fishing back up after a bunch of years back in the spring.  I kind of have a fascination with bass tournaments but have never fished in one.  Is there anyone with a boat who fishes tournaments in the Atlanta area (preferably) outside of the perimeter on the north side that would be willing to bring a novice along?  I would not want to be a liability to the boater but would really like to fish with someone who could patiently help me understand the tournament world and help me with my strategy and techniques.
