RSSPapua New Guinea fishing grounds have always been protected by the ever-changing tropical climate and the isolated fishing grounds and untouched rivers offers the best lure for the sport and game fishing enthusiasts.
Game fish are plentiful in Port Moresby, Lae, Madang, Rabaul and Wewak. In dense jungle rivers, the 'lure shy' PNG Black Bass will challenge the skills of any intruding angler and put him back to the novice class. Then again there is the option to try out the Barramundi.

On the oceanic front, the underwater predators of Papua New Guinea's Bismarck and the Archipelago Seas poised to challenge a skillful angler, and they include Dog tooth tuna, Sailfish, Yellow fin tuna, Marlin and plenty more. |
The coastal currents run at 5 knots, carrying sailfish, yellowfin, mahi mahi, mackerel and many more species to within 100 yards of the shore. The waters of East New Britain offers a variety of species of catches ranging from Black and Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Mackerel, Wahoo, Trevally and many more. Bottom fishing for red emperor and reef fish is also an option for anglers to consider. For the ultimate Papua New Guinea fishing experience, combine a 'Talio' Madang adventure with a trip to Arrjim Island Bass Fishing Camp on the remote south coast of West New Britain. This area is renown for its black and spottail bass.
Moreover, with river fishing, you have the opportunity to meet the locals and if you are lucky, you might see a traditional sing-sing or simply enjoy being alone in some of the pristine jungles on both sides of the river.
