In case it can help others, I share about a problem I encountered at the Salt Strand.

I was level 19 with fisher quest requiring navigator's dagger. While fishing for those at Brewer Beacon, I also got some helmet crabs, unlocking them. Upon completing the quest, I reached level 21. I went to the Salt Strand (level 13) for a better spawning rate for those crabs but couldn't fish anything: it was locked (you sense something blablabla...).

I did next fisher quest (warmwater trouts). It made me reach level 22. I returned to the Salt Strand, and this time I was able to fish there.

So, it seems that there is a criteria to be fulfilled to unlock fishing at the Salt Strand. I don't know what one. It's probably level of perception or another of those parameters. A confirmation would be nice.

Was able to catch 6 helmet crab out of the 17 fish caught within 7 minutes! (I did use chum)

Thank you, Jimbo Sandlewood!

Jimbo is correct. I spent approx 30 mins trying at Brewer's Beacon without catching a single Helmet Crab.
About 50% of my casts caught Helmet Crabs at The Salt Strand.
