I'm no open water fishing guru that's for sure; but I spent a lot of time on the Nth Rivers coast. Maybe Zeff you're an old salt that can do amazing things with boats, and I don't mean to be insulting in any way- but!
I imagine the waters aroung where you are presently might be quiet a bit different to navigate than the bars at the mouth of the Nth Rivers..I wonder if you can get a look at some footage of what these bars can be like before you comit to transporting a boat half way across the hemisphere.
I know when I lived in Brunswick Heads, anyone but those with exceptionaly sea worthy boats would stand on the breakwall every morning gauging the day's swell and the chances of getting out and back in safely. It's not the sort of deal that goes hand in hand with a regular job and a spontaneous whim. I'm sure the larger river mouths are better than that, but I'm just thinking of how it might be a bit of a shock if you're not prepared for what might await you.
I don't mean to be a wet blanket though, you might have sailed around cape of good hope for all I know. just thinking is all..

Zeff, after living and fishing in PNG you may as well sell all your gear. What you call a good day, and what we call a good day are miles apart.
That is not to say you can't catch fish down here. A lot more work per fish on average. Nothing like Madang and Wewak.
