About Us
Our Mission
Welcome to Crappie Guide Services.
My Name is Greg Nechamkin and I am a professional crappie fishing guide in the DFW area.
The primary Lakes fished are Lake Lavon (near Wylie Tx) and Lake Fork (near Emory Tx).
Other surrounding lakes can be booked with the possibility of additional cost as per request.
My goal is to strive to achieve a fun and relaxed fishing experience. When I started fishing for crappie on Lake Lavon back in 1975, I fished from the bank with a cane pole and a Coleman lantern. Since then, I have mainly fished Lakes Lavon, Tawakoni, Fork, Palestine, and Tyler for Crappie.
With over 45 years of experience catching Crappie, Black Bass, White Bass, and Catfish, I now only specialize in Crappie Fishing. The fastest way to learn a skill is to hire someone who is proficient and specializes in the skill you want to know. Today with the newest technology for fishing, a guide needs to be able to put you on fish and have the proficiency at being a great teacher and coach. If you are looking for someone who is patient and wants to see you catch crappie, then I am your guide.
Fishing boat and gear.
My guided fishing trips will be from a new 2022 SeaArk ProCat 240.
This boat is set up for crappie fishing. It is loaded with Humminbird's MEGA Side image, Down image, and the new MEGA 360 as well as Garmin Livescope.
We will be providing Todd Huckabee Rods with Abu Garcia bait casting reels.
All live, artificial bait and fish filleted will be provided at no additional cost.
I can bait your hook and remove the fish if that is your preference. At the end of the day, you will be handed a bag of processed fish fillets to go straight into the frying pan.
Additional Infomation
1. No Deposit required. To confirm your trip, you will need to verify your phone number via text or call. This is done so that I know we can text or call at the last minute. Email sometimes can have some delays. I prefer to text directions and links as to where meeting locations will be. Life situations do come up and I would prefer you contact me about a cancelation via text or call as soon as possible.
2. Trip cancelations. Trips will be canceled due to inclement weather including wind deemed unsafe or not fishable. Thunderstorms and potential lighting can cause a trip to be canceled. Please understand the safety of all is a high priority.
3. Fish guarantees. I can never guarantee limits of fish, but with my instruction clients who have never fished before will catch fish. The number of fish caught is determined by the fish and the skill level of the client. Children and older seniors sometimes have difficulties with hook set and or basic fishing rod and reel functions.
4. The scheduled time of your trip will be determined by the outside temperature and daylight. I can be flexible but, I try to avoid the coldest part of the morning and the heat of the day.
Don't want to stand all day?
Let's face it, not everyone has the balance or the stamina to stand on the bow of a boat for 5 hours. I provide a comfortable solution so that you can enjoy the fishing experience. For those hot summer days, we can provide some shade with a Bimini.

HUMMINBIRD MEGA 360 IMAGING. Humminbird’s revolutionary 360-degree Imaging scans underwater places that are virtually impossible to see with conventional sonar. It produces a 150-foot rotating beam that sweeps around a full 360-degree arc to create a 300-foot circle of detection and information around your boat. This tool is used to save time when moving from spot to spot.

What is Garmin Livescope?

What is Garmin Livescope?
Garmin Livescope runs a range of frequencies in a spread from 530 to 1100 kHz. This allows both penetration and clarity to a beam that sweeps several times a second. Objects become constantly trackable due to the movement of the beam, allowing us to see a target’s every move from second to second. Experiencing Garmin Livescope to see fish

Objects become constantly trackable due to the movement of the beam, allowing us to see a target’s every move from second to second. Experiencing Garmin Livescope to see fish approach and take your bait is an exciting, thrilling time. You will see fish swim off with your bait and never feel the thump!
