Seansurfy good old PNG is an awesome spot. I lived there for 2 years in Port Moresby. Did the Ungabunga rapids, the Kokoda, the Trobriands, Madang etc, was fantastic.
When were you up there last?
I left in 89'. Didn't do much fishing, just drank heaps.
We were the only non-pub residence to get a pallet of beer delivered every month.....yes a pallet of beer between 7 of us.
SP Brewery loved us ANZ boys at the single mens mess.
I went for a surfing holiday November last year at Nusa Island just off the coast of Kavieng in The Bismark Archipeligo. Couldn't go all that way and not take a few rods...Anyway the surf didn't really play the game, but the fishing was pretty hot. Sailfish hooked 500m off the shore, loads of Spanish Mackeral and a few nice bottom fish. Great diving too...lot's of WW2 wrecks. They use Yamaha Long boats which were pretty good fishing platforms. cheers Sean Coral sea carnage
That is not a bar-cheeked trout. Bar cheeked trout are similar to the common coral trout except that they have wider spaced spots and spots on head form elongate 'bars'.
This fish has a lunate tail which suggests it is part of the variola species which the coronation trout belongs.
