It was so fun! We started out catching good fish then moved to deeper water for even larger fish. The crew of 7 limited out. J&J cleaned our fish and vacuum sealed everything in manageable portions. Highly recommend for the beginner fisherman for their highly experienced deck hands or the experienced fisherman with the deck hands’ knowledge of the bay.it was a great day with unforgettable memories. Highly recommended!

From the Zucchini muffins to the cleaning of the fish. This family knows how to make you feel like a professional, real Alaskan fisherman. We traveled 4000 miles to experience Alaska and this crew allowed us to do just that . Thankyou Jand J we shall return.

Unfortunately, we can no longer offer night by night camping due to the incredibly large amount of people that camp here for the festival. It is a flat fee of $100 whether it is for one night or for the whole weekend.

All of our cabins and electric sites are already reserved for Salmonfest weekend. We will have tent camping or dry camper parking with no hook-ups on a “first-come, first-served” basis on the 10 acre field, no reservations. It is $100 for the weekend (Thursday until Monday) per tent or vehicle that you sleep in. When you check in you will receive a flag to display indicating that you have paid for your site.

First Come, first served area does not open until Thursday morning.

There may still be other campgrounds in Ninilchik with availability and there is a shuttle bus that goes from campgrounds to the festivities.

I am interested in pitching a tent for the weekend. What time do people usually arrive to ensure they are able to get a spot for camping?

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Toni

Nosto’s (John Smart) crew, Captain Bubba and First Mate Dillon, did an Outstanding job of putting us on the fish. One spot and we limited out. They take care of everything. Show up with your fishing license and let them do all the work….except for reeling in the barn doors. Notso’s crew cleaned our fish, vacuum packed them, and stored them in a freezer until we left the next day. We used the campground and had amazing views. This is my second time fishing with J&J Smart Charters and I would recommend them to anyone!!!! Thanks again Notso!!!!!
