ROCK EXPEDITIONS/ PAPUA NEW GUINEA 2023-2024


Luke Wyrsta of Rock Expeditions, recently announced his 2023/2024 expedition schedule for the waters off of Misima Island, Papua New Guinea for giant trevally, dogtooth tuna, and numerous other species. The waters surrounding Misima offer endless possibilities.  Clients camp on numerous islands where fixed structures are built by the island natives.  The trips include guided fishing out of 23 ft boats, all meals, pick-up at the Misima Airport and accommodations.  The area one will fish during the expedition has most likely never seen a line.  There is no commercial fishing in the area nor any other agents fishing clients. 

Trips are offered in stays of 10 days or 15 days with safety being the #1 priority.  Luke has a satellite radio in case an emergency arises.  The main advantage of this operation is the ability of moving camp while you are fishing.  There are hundreds of islands within a 5-hour boat ride and hundreds of reefs so if the fishing is slow in one area, you will move to another. 

This is NOT an option with fixed lodges where you will fish the same area throughout your stay.  Laundry service is also provided so no need to pack lots of clothes.  If you like to camp under the stars, explore untapped waters, walk on white sand beaches, and catch huge giant trevally and dogtooth tuna then this is the trip for you.  If you want to be catered in a restaurant, sleep in a hotel, then look elsewhere!  This was my 4th exploration trip with Rock Expeditions and cannot recommend this trip enough and am planning on heading back for a 15 day exploration.   

The 2023/2024 schedule is as follows
10-day October 10 to 19, 2023
10-day November 23 to December 2, 2023
15-day December 5 to December 19, 2023
15-day January 2 to January 16, 2024
10-day January 18 to January 27, 2024
10-day February 3 to February 12, 2024

Soon, an announcement will be made on seeking Papua New Guinea bass in the jungles of PNG.  Watch this blog for future updates.
