Rio Ipojuca

Flowing through Pernambuco, Brazil, Rio Ipojuca is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Rio Ipojuca hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Rio Ipojuca can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.

Fishing Techniques

• For Crevalle jack

  Crevalle jacks are often found schooling, so if you catch one, keep fishing the same area. Vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.

• For Common snook

  When fishing around docks, skip your lure as far under as possible to reach snook hiding in the shade, as they are ambush predators.

• For Sheepshead

  Use a short leader and a small, sharp hook to detect their subtle bites, set the hook quickly but gently.
