Joshua Quong Co-Guide
Lifelong friends who didn’t meet until their thirties. Josh is the feather to Aaron’s fin, a local educator, writer for Field Ethos Journal, father and damn good fishing guide when he isn’t running his own first-class upland wingshooting preserve Little “q” Ranch.
Rusty Barfield - Head Fishing Guide
Another of Aaron’s biological siblings who shares neither the same mother or father, Russ was born Dennis and stayed that way until he hired Aaron to run a guided fishing trip and Aaron returned the favor. Rusty and his boat MS Pixie Stick are set up to run alligator hunts, crappie and white bass trips, and Russ often has sleep overs at Fish Camp because that’s what brothers do.
Brannon Kirby - Lead Fishing Guide
Capt. Kirby (aka the hardest working man in Crappie Fishing) guides from a 22’ camo War Eagle aptly known as the “Crappie Tank” for us and his own gig Franklin Fishing Tours. He is a retired air traffic controller, commercial fisherman, hunting guide, Barton Outfitters Summer Fishing Camps Guide and father.
Dr. Shayne McGivney - Associate Guide
Shayne is an expert Livescope Crappie angler and guide both with Barton Outfitters and his guide outfit Cornerstone Crappie, the Senior Pastor of Belden Baptist Church, and a longtime friend of Aaron who was so annoyed by Shayne’s constant outfishing that he hopped on Shayne’s boat one day and made the Pastor teach the guide how to catch a crappie.
Andy Houston - Associate Guide
Aaron met Andy loading out one day at the boat ramp. Andy’s clients told us we needed to associate ourselves with Lone Cypress Fishing and we haven’t turned back since. When Andy isn’t running his own trips, he’s helping Barton Outfitters clients Livescope giant crappie with remarkable efficiency and with our summer fishing camps.
