THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FISHING ADVENTURE!

We can take up to 6 people to Papaua New Guinea and the tourleader of this trip will be Volkmar Strikkers! It doesn't get any better than that. Because on Papua New Guinea you will find the best of both worlds without compromise. First, you can fish in the river for Papua black bass, spottail bass, mangrove jack, red bass, maori sea bream and the occasional GT and grouper. And a few miles out to sea you have GT, Napoleon fish, sailfish, tuna, groupers, wahoo, dorado, marlin etc.

19 or 20 November flight to Port Moresby (depending on available options)
21 November flight Port Moresby to Kimbe, transfer to Liamo Reef, freshen up and dinner and board the Ultimate one, all-night sailing to the fishing spots
22 to 28 November 8 full days of fishing
29 November fishing until early afternoon then departure for Kimbe
30 November arrival Kimbe early morning, flight to Port Moresby and onwards home

On this trip, we choose for the most comfortable and optimal set-up. We will be fishing with a maximum of 2 guests per fishing boat and we will combine freshwater and saltwater fishing. So the Papua Bass will be covered but also the GT and buddies. How cool is that? And if we get to a place where the fishing is a little slow, we just move on with our floating hotel! That's the big advantage of this live aboard fishing trip. And this fishing trip is guided by Volkmar Strikkers, who joins the different fishing boat every day and assists the guests with tips and tricks, and he off course will be casting a rod himself.

So whatever type of fishing you prefer this is where you want to be. Pristine areas in impressive nature. In 2004 this loperation started and has since than been the pioneer of Black Bass fishing in Papua New Guinea. Through strong relationships with the land owners and villagers, they have provided both fishermen and locals the benefits of sustainable tourism through fishing. Over the past 20 years, the lodge has been featured on various fishing shows including Monster Fish, River Monsters, Escape with ET, Extreme Fishing with Robson Green and Fishing Addiction with Mark Berg. They specialise in Black Bass, Spottail Bass and also Blue Water fishing in sensational locations and untouched fishing grounds. Find a trip that will suit your needs today and book your trip of a lifetime. It is this unique combination of unique fish that makes fishermen travel to this beautiful location and fulfil their dreams. OK it does not come cheap, but this is the place to tick your bucketlist and bucketfish!

Papua New Guinea is a country in the southwest Pacific Ocean. It is the third largest island in the world and covers more than 462,000 square kilometres. It is mainly mountainous and covered in tropical rainforest, and there are also several volcanoes along the Pacific Ring of Fire.

It has a vast coastline of more than 5,000 kilometres, dotted with beautiful remote islands and atolls. It is sometimes called the Scandinavia of the Pacific. Above water it is already spectacular here, but underwater it is even more impressive with a huge array of rich coral reefs, sandbars and underwater channels. Many of these sites are virtually untouched.

Over the past decade, Papua New Guinea has become increasingly popular with travelling anglers and is a destination that makes many anglers' hearts beat faster. The atolls and reefs are a haven for small baitfish and, in turn, a whole host of predatory fish. There are many pristine reefs and islands that host famous sport fish such as Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally and Napoleon Wrasse. You can popper and jig along the edges of the reefs here and experience the ultimate fight.

We will be staying on the mother ship THE ULTIMATE ONE during this fishing trip:

This ship is custom built and 72 feet (22 metres) and is available for specialised charters, fishing trips, exploration trips, cultural expeditions and private charters for groups of up to 6 anglers. The boat accommdates 6 guests in 3 bedrooms each with one single and one double bed and there is a separate shower and toilet to each room. The boat is equipped with all conveniences and at the same time perfectly equipped for long range fishing trips.

Our 9 night charter will venture to further reef and river systems around New Britain Island. This vessel has no boundaries and will take us to places where very few have ever been. The vessel also includes a game fishing chair on the back hydraulic platform for those who want to battle with big Blue Marlin. Giant Dog-tooth Tuna will be the draw-card but these areas will also be teeming with sail fish, GT, Wahoo, Yellow-fin and Napoleon, plus every Tropical Reef species you can dream of.

For the fishing there are three sportfishing boats available. They are 7.6 metres in length and feature a 140 HP outboard engine. They are fast and feature a small top for shade. These boats will be fished with 2 anglers per boat. GPS / Fishfinder is also available and all boats are skippered by experienced captains.

Fishing gear

Rod: A solid rod around 5.5 to 6 feet with plenty of back bone and rated at 10 to 15 kg.
Reels: Loaded with 30 to 50lb braid. Best reels include Daiwa Lexa, Abu Revo’s, Calcutta 300 & 400, Curado 300, Abu 6500 & 7000, and most of the solid quality bait caster reels. Similarly, medium sized quality spinning reels will be fine.
Leader: 50lb to 70 lb fluro carbon leader is also required and it may be a good idea to have some wire when targeting the bigger bass and toothy pelagics.
Lures: Popular surface lures with the Bass are the Rapala skitter pops and tango dancer or similar in all colours. Imitation surface frogs are also good.
Medium and deep diving minnow type lures such as the DUO Realis and jerk baits, Rapala Xraps, Rapala Bara Mags, Storm Deep Barra, Salmo Perch, B52’s. Halco Scorpions 125, Poltergeist 90 and similar is also good. A selection of surface lures should also be included in the tackle box. We find the mullet, black/gold, Red and Silver, and natural colours are effective with darker and more contrasted lures the better choice. If you have done a lot of Barra fishing, it’s all similar lures but with an upgrade on hooks and split rings.

For the inshore pelagic, deep divers around the reefs work well and medium to large poppers for the GT's. Wire trace is recommended for the razor gang species. Smaller skirted lures from 3” to 6” are great for Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish and Small Marlin. Fly fishermen can use from 8 to 12 weight but 10 weight as an average is fine. Small clouser type flies from 2” to 4” always work well when the white bait are running. Surface flys up to 6” will also work well particularly with the Spot Tail Bass. If you want to target the smaller species also like Jungle Perch, Tarpon and Jacks then a 4 to 6 weight will also provide a lot of fun with a range of small flys both sinking and surface. Larger flys 6” to 8” with wire when targeting the offshore Yellowfin Tuna, GT, Spaniards, and Sails etc.

Rod tube lengths - If you have domestic flights within Australia please check with your Airline what the maximum length is permitted as some guests have encountered problems. PLEASE PACK YOUR RODS WITHIN STRONG & STURDY ROD TUBES TO AVOID DAMAGE WHEN FLYING.
