CAPT. JOEY BENKO

I’m Capt. Joey Benko, a full time fishing guide in the Naples Florida area.  Living in Naples for the past 30 years I have enjoyed this very special fishery and would love the chance to share it with you.  I consider myself very lucky to have such an office to enjoy my true passion.  It is very important to assure all of my clients have the experience of a lifetime. From the expert angler to the first time angler I will do my best to teach you the proper techniques to catch the big ones. Through emails and phone calls I structure each charter to meet the expectations of my guests.  I’ve learned some great techniques for catching the big ones. From live baits in the summer to soft plastics in the winter join me in chasing down the catch of a lifetime.

Captain Joey is an amazing guide! My friend and I learned so much from him. He is very knowledgeable, patient and really fun to fish with. I will book another trip with him next year and I highly recommend him!!

A fishing legen
We had a great days fishing with Joey...recommended by Roan in mikes bait house this guide is top class. So easy going and really knows where the fish are. Handles the boat excellently and keeps moving to find more fish.

Another Amazing Trip
My best friend has invited me to go fishing with her and her dad for the past two years and Capt. Joey has put us on some very big snook. I did it again catching the biggest of the day, but what a beautiful morning we had running the backwaters down from Naples to Marco. This is a trip I tell my friends over and over again.

Joey Thank You once again for taking us out fishing yesterday.  My grandson Charlie said the best day of his FL trip was going fishing with you!  Happy New Year and the fish tasted great!  Verlyn Fast

Capt Joey is the Best!
​Captain Joey is the best guide I’ve ever fished with! My friend and I have spent lots of time fishing in MN. But there is lots to learn about saltwater fishing, and Joey is a great teacher. He started by catching baitfish, and then put us on hungry snook and jack all morning. We had a great time and learned so much. I will book with him again next year and I highly recommend him to anyone - whether you are a novice or have lots of time in the water!!

“Amazing charter! Book now!”

​Joey was great!!! Amazing captain that consistently put us on fish! Tons of snook, a jack, and a redfish!!! Took the girlfriend out for her first saltwater fishing adventure and it was worth every moment of it! I will definitely be looking him up when I'm back here!

​Took a buddy for a 1/2 day and what fun. Joey knows where to find the fish, how to speak their language and get them on your hook. Plus he is funny and a real fun character to spend time with

“Awesome Fishing Guide!”

Went out on the boat with Joey this morning and it was one of the best fishing experiences I've ever had! Definitely worth the trip down from Ohio for! He's incredibly knowledgeable and knows exactly where to go to catch some monsters!!

“Excellent Guide!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 14, 2014
We went backwater fishing with Capt. Joey on our most recent trip to Naples. His charter picks up at the City Pier which was especially convenient for us. We had an excellent time on the water -- Capt. Joey brought us through the backwater channels and inlets and we had great success catching everything from Tarpon, Jacks, Redfish, Snook and many others. He is an excellent captain and we will absolutely book with Capt. Joey the next time we fish in Naples.

My dad, brother, and I have charted at least 10 backwater trips in the Naples area over the years and none have compared to Joey. We have been out with BustnLoose over 5 times and have yet to have anything short of a great day of fishing, and caught some of the biggest fish of our lives. If you're looking for some great fishing with a good guy, Joey is your man.
