PNG Black Bass

[Smithy]

From a mate of mine down the Gold Coast some of you may know from the days when SEQTAR was strong in ANSA.

HEY ROB, HERE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOS FROM OUR TRIP TO BENDORODA PNG IN JULY / AUGUST.
THE TRIP WAS EVERYTHING I READ ABOUT AND MORE. AFTER READING HARRO'S ARTICAL IN 1983 I'VE DREAMED OF GOING AND FISHING SUCH REMOTE EXOTIC PLACES. IT WAS SO GOOD WE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT BOOKING THE SAME TIME NEXT YEAR. THE PICS INCLUDE WALLY & 15LB B/B, ME & 20LB B/B, BOTH OF US WITH DOUBLE HOOKUP B/B, RAPALA LURE 5 TROLLS & FIVE FISH LATER ITS READY FOR THE POOL ROOM, & BARRY WITH A HORSE 34LB BLACK BASE. YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE ANY ESTUARY FISH PULL 50LB STRING OFF A LOCKED DRAG AS FAST & LONG AS WHAT THIS FISH DID. ITS SCARY TO THINK THEY GROW TO 60-70LB.
BETTER GET READY FOR WORK NOW, TALK TO YOU SOON.
REGARDS TOPPY

I'm the same - always dreamed of this stuff after seeing photos by Peter Taylor from Mullet gut Marine in Twba.

Corrent me if I'm wrong but you're talking $3-5k for a trip up there nowdays. You'd have to love your fishing but I'm not sure how to appraoch the little lady.

Awsome stuff Rob

Guys,

If you guys want to catch Black Bass, do it NOW.

These operations often don't last too long, before the tribal politics close them down.

Awesome photo.

Life is short. Fish Hard.
