About us

49th Fathom Charters is located in the beautiful capital city of Juneau, Alaska.

No trip to Southeast Alaska would be complete without looking deeper into the natural beauty that surrounds this city, above and below sea level. From the gorgeous glaciers and mountains above, to the majestic whales and feisty fish that swim below, our personal charters are sure to fulfill everyone's wish list.

Departing out of Auke Bay Harbor, about 15 miles Northwest of downtown Juneau, allows us to get you out on the water quicker. From here we will be journeying through the protected waters of Alaska's well-known Inside Passage, which provides some of the world's greatest sportfishing and whale watching without the uncomfortable swells of the open ocean.

This is it, our playground and the place where I call home. I would love the opportunity to take you 49 Fathoms deeper, showing you why there is no other place in the world I would rather play.

What we'll do

There’s nothing like the sound of a screaming reel and a bent-over rod as a King Salmon dives deeper, you’re hooked up! And from this point on, it’s likely your hooked on salmon fishing in Alaska. Our light tackle gear will give you the fight of a lifetime no matter what species of salmon is on the end of your line. In May/June we are typically targeting the King (Chinook) Salmon, the largest of all the salmon who put up quite the fight. During the months of July and August, our focus is likely to be the Coho (Silver) Salmon. These silver bullets are sure to put even the most experienced anglers to the test. Often darting rapidly and jumping out of the water, they never give up without a fun fight. It’s not uncommon to hook into two, three, or more simultaneously, creating what we like to call organized chaos. While hooking these Cohos may seem like the only task, getting these fish netted and into the boat before they shake your hook is an even greater challenge. And that’s how we troll, at 49th Fathom Charters.
