In this episode I am fishing at the Fort Morgan Beach in Alabama and once again trying to see if YouTube can help me become a better fisherman. I am new to saltwater fishing, so I am trying the easiest method and am bottom fishing with dead shrimp. I manage to catch two fish despite the large waves and churning surf. First I catch a decent hard head catfish, then I catch a whiting aka gulf kingfish. On this trip I am using some older freshwater gear that I wouldn’t mind ruining due to sand and saltwater. A handy tip for avoiding frustration.
This is the first of a few videos about beginner saltwater fishing here on Realistic Fishing! Check it out in the video below.
