Upcoming Tournaments
The Port Moresby Game Fishing Club is proud to announce the launch of our 2025–2026 fishing season. Building on the success of past years, this season promises to be bigger and better, with an exciting calendar of competitions, family-friendly events, and opportunities for anglers of all ages and experience levels.
Highlights of the upcoming season include:
As always, the season will culminate in our Annual Presentation Evening, where we celebrate the achievements of our members, recognise champions across all categories, and thank our valued sponsors and supporters.
With PNG’s 50th Independence Anniversary celebrations in 2025, this season carries extra significance, and we’re proud to continue contributing to the community spirit with events that showcase the very best of sport fishing in Port Moresby.
We invite all members – past, present, and new – to get involved, join a competition, and help us make the 2025–2026 season one to remember.
Stay tuned for the full competition calendar and event announcements coming soon.

SEPTEMBER 2025 - Independence Classic
We are finalising details currently for a 5 day comp to be held over the 5 day long weekend for PNG's 50th Independence Celebrations. This will be one with something for everyone, new or old, the aim is just to make the most of the weather and time and get on the water.
NOVEMBER - Big Tease
The premier billfish event for the year, this is where we drag out the big reels and chase the big blues as they start heading through for the season.
DECEMBER - President's Comp
A family friendly event to end the year on, great chance to get out on the water and spend time at the club before the silly season.
JANUARY - Ladies & Juniors Comp
This comp is run specifically for our Ladies and Juniors. With a more leisurely start to the day, and a champagne breakfast, the ladies and juniors hit the water to see who is really the best angler in the house.
FEBRUARY - Ela Motors Yellowfin Comp
Always a highlight in the year is our yellowfin comp, with good numbers of yellow's being caught in 2024-2025 again we are hoping for a great comp with lots of fish.
MAY 2024 - Slapstick Comp
A fun comp for the whole family, the slapstick is a more open comp that encourages everyone to get on the water and land a variety of species.
