Come join Barton Outfitters on a fishing adventure you'll never forget. We are located in Oxford, MS and primarily fish Sardis Lake, Enid Lake, Grenada Lake, and surrounding back waters for trophy crappie, white bass, largemouth bass, catfish and bream, but can customize any trip for your needs.

Your experienced, knowledgeable guides promise to not only put you on fish but teach you techniques for locating and catching crappie on the 'Big Four' year-round.

Depending on the time of year, expect to jig or single pole fish from a boat or while wading. You can also try spider rig drifting or troll jigs or crankbaits, or even try your hand with a fly rod! Whatever you choose, you'll have the option of 5-hour trips, where you'll be fishing for the likes of Catfish, Bass, Crappie, depending on the season and weather

Your boat for the day will be a 17' G3 aluminum fishing boat that fits up to 3 anglers at any one time. The boat comes with a wireless trolling motor to get you to those tight spots and a fighting chair to give you the edge when you've hooked a fish. There's also an ice box, so you can keep your catch on ice before taking it home.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Just make sure to stock up on drinks and snacks, and make sure to get your MS freshwater fishing license before coming aboard.

Children are more than welcome so you're good to get the young ones started early. All that's left is for you to book your trip now and hit the water with Barton Outfitters – Sardis & Enid Lake.

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Twilight Crappie on May 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    Capt Aaron graceously offered us the opportunity to go with Capt Chuck in lieu of original reservations with him. Capt Chucks boat was a bit more amenable to my husband who is unable to do big step ups or down. Aaron felt this was a better opportunity for his ability. It worked out perfectly. Against all odds( mid-day fishing, windy day , hot…we still caught a crappie, striped bass and a nice bunch of Catfish.. I would highly recommend these two Capts to make your day.. we’ll definitely be back to Lake Enid.

    Take Me Fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Twilight Crappie on July 4, 2026 • 4 adults

    My husband, my daughter, and I went fishing with Barton Outfitters (Oxford) for the 4th of July (2026), and although we did not catch but 7 fish (crappie and bass mix), the experience was very nice. Should there be a next time, we will fish for CATFISH! FYI: We did not know that the best time to fish for crappie is NOT July. Lol!

    Fantastic trip

    5 Hour Trip (PM) on February 25, 2023 • 3 adults • 2 children

    I wanted a fishing trip to make some memories with my kids, especially my 8 year old. I have had a hard time getting my youngest to engage in fishing. He was always bored or just not into it. Capt Rusty absolutely delivered on what I was looking for. He made the entire trip worth it. The weather wasn't great. It was kinda cold and rainy off and on. It didn't matter. We caught fish and my 8 year old had a blast. I want to thank the captain. You can tell you yourself are a father and a damn good one too. Next trip I'm bringing my daughter and the rest of the family. I won't book with another outfitter going forward. From one dad to another, thank you do very much. Sean

    Last minute sisters fishing trip with Captain Aaron

    4 Hour Trip – Twilight Crappie on July 20, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Aaron and Dublin took my sister and I out on lake Enid. We caught, crappie, bass, blue catfish, channel catfish, and drum! We came out to catch our first crappie and Aaron put us on the fish! We enjoyed learning about the boat and how to troll crankbaits, even tried noodles! Captain Aaron was super polite and fun. We both had a wonderful, safe time with Barton Outfitters! Can’t wait to book again!

    Last Minute was A-OK!

    Fishing with Brunch: 730a - 1230p on June 29, 2024 • 2 adults

    Very helpful for a last-minute planning. We had an excellent time, and learned a few new tricks along the way. Excellent lunch and fresh drinks we specified. We caught enough fish for me and my partner to split that will last us about 7 fish dinners each! Aaron was always quick to respond with excellent communication. Highly recommend this charter guide!

This year we tried Enid Lake. We might have had a slow start, however Aaron put us on fish, and we ended the day with a boat load. Great day, Great time, Great guide. It's a must do.
