About Iloilo River
Iloilo River, in Western Visayas, Philippines, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Iloilo River is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques
- For Indo-Pacific tarpon
Target areas with structure like mangroves, docks, or bridge pilings, and fish during dawn or dusk when tarpon are most active.
- For Bigeye trevally
Target areas with current or structure, and vary your retrieve speed until you find what the fish are responding to.
- For Jarbua terapon
Jarbua terapon often congregate around structure, so target rocks, piers, and mangroves for best results.
