Night at the nearby beach

First time going to this neighbour beach after these years. Due to the rain, I have to wait till evening to make my visit. Purpose of visiting was to explore what fishing gear is normally used and what is caught in this fishing spot. What equipements do they bring along? I was kinda interested to fish and hope can try out in this nearby fishing spot.

The bus waiting interval is long, abt 20mins Thus i miss the sunset by the time i reached there. Despite the down pour, the park was still lively. The main crowd was concentrated at the jetty area and nearby bbqs pits. The rest of the park was actually quite deserted. People went there mainly for bbqs, fishing, camping. Not much cycling is sighted, perhaps there was no bicycle kisok.

Green Dim lights on fishing rods to signal catch

Fishing rods were planted in columns along the beach, with dimmed lights on the poles to signal a catch in this darkness. Near the jetty, there so many tents cramped together, resembling a refugee camp. Think they belong to the hardcore fishermen who set up their crab traps and fishing lines.

They check on their crab traps and lines, replinish the bait, placed their catch in coolers and buckets. Baits used are squids, half cut raw fish. I wasnt able to make out what they caught, but peeks into their buckets show mini crabs which will fit within the size of your palm, and a handful of medium size fishes. Thick coloured threads with plastic bags, styrofoam, tied to the jetty perimeters. Any movement from this, will signal the fisherman to come out of their tents to pull in the trap.

The jetty platform is uneven, some planks were creaking and I can instinctly feel that it's breaking apart. I worry for the kids that were running across the planks. There exists the possibility that their feet will be caught by the large gaps between the planks and they will fall flat. The park is also poorly litted and kids were tripping over tent wires pitch on the ground. Ouch!
Tents

Most tents are pitched near the beach, near bbq pits, near pavilions. A few tents were pitched in the dark where there is no street lamps nearby and was distanced from the main crowd. Hmm...maybe couples pitch there to hanky panky.
Shipping yard

There are police officers guarding the park and the nearby shipping yards perhaps. The drizzle last till 830pm. With the cold wind blowing and wet pavements, people tend to hide in the tents, parvilions, enjoying their food and hopefully company with one another in this wet weather.

I wasnt able to visit the hotsprings and a "bottle tree" restaurant. Duno how to walk there in this darkness and quite wulu. Have to wait till next time then go visit.

Hazi...conclusion, not really a place to fish in weekend. Quite crowded at the jetty, hardly have space to throw a line and monitor. Maybe weekdays can try. 1 has to buy a fishing pole to throw the line along the beach shore. Line fishing dont think will be able to work there effectively unless its thrown at the jetty.
