Make some memories in Soldotna and go fishing with Crazy J’s Guiding. With Captain Josh at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are home to Salmon, and more if conditions allow.

For these species, you're likely to wade fish using the flossing technique. We also do some trolling trips and fly fishing. We provide all fishing equipment for each trip.

Capt. Josh operates a 20' Alumaweld guide sled that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Capt. Josh will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Crazy J’s Guiding!

I was introduced into the sport of fishing at a very young age (born and raised Alaskan). I grew very passionate about the sport and teaching others especially kids and family's just how amazing the sport can be. In 2018 I became a charter boat Captain and fiahing guide. Our passion and drive is to be as safe and family friendly as possible.
