After a very busy schedule, our time in Port Moresby has come to an end.
One hell of a tour made even sweeter by the generosity and help we received by the countless amount of legends we have interacted with over the past few weeks. Too many to name and you all know who you are, so a big thank you to you.
The national titles were an extremely successful event by all accounts and we feel very privileged to be able to take part in such a well run and professional competition. Even better, we managed a bit of success.
Angler Andrew Grace who fished with us for the last two days managed to take out best angler with 2 blue marlin releases on 30lb.
Team Trukai who fished with us for 2 days managed to secure the release section on 30lb line class with 2x Blue marlin release, 1x sailfish release, 1x Yellowfin release and 1x Dolphinfish release. This section was our main goal and acts as a qualifying event for the world offshore championship held in Costa Rica 2025. So a big congratulations to Patrick, Andrew and the rest of the Trukai team.
After the full 9 days fishing (4 teams + shootout) we came in 2nd place for champion boat. Close behind Cairns boat Adrenaline so well done to Tony and Jake for an epic campaign.
As for now, we left the dock at 330am loaded with fuel and stores for the trip back to Cairns. Weather looks all time and we are currently on course for the Eastern Fields where we hope for more blue marlin, yellowfins and especially some big doggies.
One last time, huge thank you to the Port Moresby Game Fishing Club and everyone else who helped us out during our stay. Can't speak highly enough of the place and we certainly look forward to coming back.
Cheers
