Fish the 49th Alaskan Fishing Charters is a Homer, Alaska–based sportfishing charter operator offering private and shared trips focused on halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and salmon.
The operation provides multiple trip formats including private 9‑hour and private 8‑hour options, shared 8‑hour and 10‑hour GAF halibut trips (scheduled Tuesdays and Wednesdays), and an early‑season discounted 8‑hour private halibut and rockfish trip.
