For lovers of fishing, Papua New Guinea can't be topped. These stunning waters abound with game fish from marlin to mackerel. Casting and bottom fishing offer great catches on relaxing afternoons.
The fishing in and around the Milne Bay Islands is truly unique. Trevally, mackerel, dogtooth tuna, marlin and spectacular reef fish such as coral trout are just some of the varieties to be found. In the fresh water rivers you can find papuan black bass and spot tail bass, along with barramundi and saratoga. Or, if this is not your style, relax and do some bottom fishing from the back deck of Barbarian II or with the local fisherman in their dugout canoes. The remote reefs in this amazing chain of islands offer spectacular fishing for the inexperienced or experienced angular alike.

This group of small islands lies within a necklace of extensive fringing reefs some 54 miles east of Lae. They enclose an idyllic, well-protected lagoon of turquoise water and sandy shores. They rise from quite deep water, seven and a half miles out from the eastern coast of the Huon Peninsula and lie in the path of strong seasonal currents which move between the Solomon and Bismarck Seas. The reefs and surrounding waters are home to most sedentary fish and are a port of call for the roaming pelagics. Mackerel in all sizes to succulent silver planks and brilliantly barred wahoo will strike from around the deeper reef edges and along current lines. Expect all of the common tunas, runner, mahimahi, wahoo, sharks and the three billfish - blue, black and sail - as well as dogtooth (40 and fifty kilogram doggies have been landed). The reef shallows will turn up great sport on various trevallys, white cuda and runner. Experience the excitement of live baiting for doggies, marlin and big broadbar with Niugini Diving!
