Nicholas Suhling
Killer Crappie Guide Service offers private, skill-focused fishing trips on Bull Shoals Lake, targeting Crappie and Spoonbill using modern LiveScope and light tackle techniques. Owned and operated by guide Nicholas Suhling, this veteran-owned guide service is built around personalized instruction, relaxed trips, and helping anglers truly understand how fish behave beneath the surface.
With over 10 years of experience and a passion for electronics-based fishing, Nicholas specializes in teaching LiveScope the right way. Whether you are brand new to the technology or looking to sharpen your approach, each trip is designed to help you learn while putting fish in the boat. Trips are intentionally limited to just two anglers, allowing for hands-on guidance, better communication, and more time fishing. While the boat can safely hold up to six guests, small-group trips ensure every angler gets individual attention.
Fishing is done from a 2023 18’ Grizzly Tracker Center Console that is well suited for precision fishing and electronics use. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, drinks, and light snacks are included, so you can focus on fishing instead of logistics. Free parking is available, with optional paid access to the nearby camping area. A valid Missouri fishing license is required prior to the trip.
Bull Shoals is known as a strong, consistent fishery with excellent crappie populations and productive Spoonbill seasons. Winter and spring are peak times, when LiveScope truly shines and anglers can experience steady action and clear patterns. Nicholas also offers one-on-one trips, shore lunch and fish fry experiences, and beginner-friendly outings for families or first-time anglers.
Killer Crappie Guide Service proudly offers a 25 percent discount for veterans, law enforcement, and first responders. Every trip is easygoing, instructional, and focused on creating a positive experience on the water. If you are looking to book a private crappie fishing guide on Bull Shoals, learn LiveScope techniques, or schedule a Spoonbill fishing trip in Missouri, this is a guide service built around quality time, real instruction, and memorable days on the lake.
