First time going to Labrador jetty to fish. I made a big mistake of parking the car at Carpark A although it seems the closest to the jetty. In reality, it was the farthest away as I needed to go down the hill and looped around at the bottom of the hill beside Carpark C before I could reach the jetty. Took about 30mins before I reached the jetty.
The jetty was crowded by the time I reached it. With the right side of the jetty fully occupied, I decided to set up on the left side. Have to use overhead cast as there is not enough space to do off the ground cast.
The catch rate for bottom rig and traps is very low, over the span of 7 hours, using 3 rods and 3 crab nets coupled with about 15 salted prawns and 2 bags of dried sandworms, I only got 4 fishes and 1 crab. The area is infested with todak (needlefish), so maybe I will come back to try surface fishing next time
Got some comfort as I was leaving. One of the regulars I chatted with told me my catch rate is expected. He explained the catch in this area is unpredictable as some times there are strikes and some times anglers go home empty handed.
