Pilar is Siargao's game-fishing town, home of the annual invitational Siargao International Game Fishing Tournament.
Practical
Pin: Pilar town centre (Wikipedia coordinates). Wikipedia: Pilar is popular with game fishing enthusiasts and hosts an annual invitational sport fishing event, the Siargao International Game Fishing Tournament; the town economy is largely fishing. Lakwatsero lists game fishing among Siargao activities but names no operator or rate. Dates and operators are not published in the sources found - ask at the Pilar municipal hall or in General Luna, and verify locally. Rules: Siargao Island Protected Landscapes and Seascapes - fishing is restricted inside protected reef zones, so troll offshore, not on the reefs, and check with the municipality before fishing from a yacht. Anchor in Port Pilar (see entry) in settled weather.
