Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Courtney consistently puts clients on redfish and speckled trout using lures and advanced techniques like walk-the-dog topwater fishing. Customers regularly catch keeper-sized fish, with many landing personal bests including 24-inch reds and trout. He teaches proper casting techniques, lure selection, and how tide and wind influence fish behavior. First-time kayak anglers quickly master pedal-driven Hobie kayaks with his patient instruction, while experienced fishermen learn new skills that elevate their game. Courtney creates a relaxed atmosphere that feels like fishing with a longtime friend. He provides everything from top-notch tackle to lunch and goodie bags, often extending trips at no extra charge when fish are biting. His endless patience with questions and one-on-one coaching helps nervous beginners gain confidence while keeping experienced anglers engaged. Customers consistently book return trips and several have purchased their own Hobie kayaks after experiencing his charters.

Trip - Florida Inshore Fishing Charter for Skilled Anglers on December 21, 2025

Courtney is an awesome guide - great dude, and put me on some nice fish. He knows the local spots like the back of his hand, and put me on my PB trout and redfish. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a fun kayak trip with lots of fishing. He also makes a killer Pb & J. Thanks Courtney!

Trip - Salt Strong Insider Member Kayak Fishing Charter 1/2 Day-Tallahassee, Florida on March 31, 2024

Captain Courtney did an excellent job of putting us on the fish despite the wind . He is very knowledgeable and knows how catch fish. He is very patient and makes sure you have good experience. Captain Curtney suppled everything to make our trip successful. The only thing we had to bring was bug spray and sun tan lotion. I would recommend to anyone booking a trip with Captain Courtney Ashburn. Tony Riley
