Fishing in Papua New Guinea

Alright, we know it’s not Australia but we couldn’t ignore a fishing opportunity like this! Two of our guides have tried this newly built lodge and agreed it was outstanding, “Really something special”, was the exact quote from our guide on Cape York. The chance to fish for Black and Spot Tailed Bass [members of the Mangrove Jack/ Fingermark] family which average three to eight kilos with fish to thirty kilos present, on fly or lure is surely unmissable?
These fish fight like demons and the guides tell us that the larger fish are not caught because they head straight for the snags which they live near. However, these fish are only the icing on the cake as far as the variety of species on offer are concerned.
The Trevally, Tuna, Mackerel, Mahi, Wahoo and Barramundi families are all prolific as well as big game species such as Marlin and Sailfish which make this a truly great mixed fishery. The accommodation is in a newly built lodge and due to the remote location it is on a full board basis.

Please note the fishery is open from April until December inclusive. We expect huge demand from this tour so early booking is advised, especially during peak times. Travel to the lodge is to Port Moresby from Sydney, Brisbane or Cairns within Australia, and from Japan, Singapore and Manila internationally.
Once at Port Moresby you will be met and escorted to the domestic terminal for a short flight to the regional Hoskins airport. You will be met on arrival and escorted to a resort where you spend the night. Early the following morning you will be transferred to the fishing lodge by boat, fishing on the way. If required we can arrange to charter an aircraft to take you direct to Hoskins.
Bear in mind that the fishing is so good because of it’s remoteness, if it was easy to get to, the fishing would not be anything like as good!
