The Black Bass fishing is the best l have done anywhere in the world & l rate it over Marlin fishing etc & having lived in Barra fishing heaven of Arnhem Land & the remote Islands off the Top End of Oz.

Back then the Abu 7000 was king & for PNG Black Bass you had the reels drag system modified to use fifty pound line & they supplied a wrench ,when fishing for them in real snaggy territory where the big ones lurked ,you used the wrench to tighten the drag as much as you can. Otherwise the balls of muscles would just bury you all day .you had to literally lock drag ,burning a hole in your thumb still & gun the boat away from the snag to have any chance ,which in tight fast flowing creeks is no easy task & many a boat tipped over.

The plains & swamps were covered in Ducks & Geese ,that would black out the sky & it is where l found my love of eating Magpie Geese ,l still get cravings for it now & the pigs were every where .It was not unusual for boys to paddle us around a bend & be confronted with something that looked like a Disney movie with ducks Rusa ,Chital & fallow deer standing up to their bellies in the river to keep cool & the river flat covered with them bedded down in the shade so they can go for a quick dip to cool off.
