Donny Cruse, Captain at Bent Rod Guide Service

In the vast and diverse landscapes of Texas, countless adventures await, yet one experience stands out above the rest: fishing. With its expansive coastlines, winding rivers, and serene lakes, Texas is a haven for anglers of all skill levels. Among the myriad options for fishing charters, Bent Rod Guide Service, helmed by the passionate Captain Danny Cruse, shines brightly. Captain Danny’s deep-rooted love for the outdoors and fishing, which began in his youth, translates into unforgettable fishing experiences that guests can trust to deliver on every promise.


As guests step aboard the impressive 24' Blazer Bay, they are immediately enveloped in a sense of comfort and safety. This well-built vessel accommodates up to four guests, making it perfect for intimate outings with family or friends. Powered by a Mercury 250 Pro XS engine, the boat promises a smooth and swift ride across the water, ensuring that every fishing adventure starts on the right foot. The latest electronics are installed on the vessel, allowing for efficient navigation and fish-finding capabilities. Whether cruising toward hidden spots or exploring open waters, the guests can relax knowing they are in capable hands.


The excitement truly begins as Captain Danny sets the course for a day filled with thrilling fishing action. With an extensive knowledge of local waters, he guides his guests to prime fishing locations known for their abundant populations of sought-after species. As the boat drifts to a stop, anticipation fills the air. Captain Danny instructs his guests on the techniques that will lead to the catch of a lifetime, whether they’re targeting the robust Redfish, the elusive Trout, or the mighty Drum. For the more adventurous, the possibility of reeling in a shark adds an exhilarating twist to the day.


Equipped with top-quality fishing gear, guests are well-prepared to tackle whatever the waters may yield. Captain Danny ensures that each participant has access to the latest rods, reels, and tackle, carefully selected to enhance their chances of hooking a trophy fish.

We had a great trip! Captain Donny put us on fish and gave us tips. He’s very personable. We limited on Black Drum.

Had a blast on this fishing trip. We caught fish the entire day. I would highly recommend Donny for anyone looking to have fun catching fish. We will be back to catch some more fish with Donny next trip.

Don is a great person to fish with. He works hard for you to bag you limit if possible. He provided a great trip for Richard's 63 Birthday.

We had previously booked a trip with another outfitter and that trip was cancelled last minute due to boat issues. So at 6:00 AM on a busy weekend morning we asked around for referrals from other outfitters that we had used and others who were waiting on clients for the day to arrive. One of the outfitters contacted Captain Donny (who had a client cancel on him at the last minute and put us together). We were very happy with the way that worked out because Captain Donny kept us in BIG fish all day long. We caught Reds up to 32 inches and Trout up to 22 inches and had a great time all around. Captain Donny was extremely knowledgeable about where the fish were and what it took to catch them. He was also very helpful in giving us tips and pointers to improve our odds of catching fish and was very personable as well. We had fished in the area enough to know that this was a tough day to fish (as many guides were getting skunked). We couldn't have been happier about how the day turned out and will add this guide service to our regular "Go-To" guides on future trips.
