Beginner Surf Fishing - Winter Fishing at the Beach with Shrimp

Can YouTube help me become a better fisherman? In this episode I am fishing at the Fort Morgan Beach in Alabama. I am new to saltwater fishing, so I am try the easiest method. I am bottom fishing with dead shrimp. Despite the large waves and churning surf, I manage to catch two fish. First I catch a decent hard head catfish, then I catch a whiting (gulf kingfish). I am using some older freshwater gear that I wouldn't mind ruining due to sand and saltwater. This is the first of a few videos about beginner saltwater fishing here on Realistic Fishing!
