HOW TO TROLL FOR TUNA! RIGGING BALLYHOO 101 with Wicked Tuna's Captain Dave Marciano.

Many fans of "Wicked Tuna" have seen Capt. Dave catch giant bluefin tuna of the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts, but fishing for tunas during winter off the coast of North Carolina is an entirely different technique. While most bluefin tunas caught in the shallow, cool, green waters of the Gulf of Maine are hooked from an anchored or drifting vessel, often times using live baits, tuna fishing off the Outer Banks of North Carolina is a completely different technique and most tunas caught off North Carolina in the deep, warm, blue waters of the Gulf Stream are caught by trolling with a small baitfish called ballyhoo. Captain Jake and @NatGeoWild @Wicked Tuna Captain Dave Marciano demonstrate how to rig baits to catch tuna by trolling. We show highly effective how-to tricks and tips for rigging ballyhoos on fluorocarbon leader with Sea Witch style trolling lures as seen on the series "Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks" . Filmed by Joe Marciano on board the F/V Falcon in Wanchese, North Carolina, January 30, 2019.

Do yo have any videos on how to setup and use a quick release anchor system that tuna fishermen use when fishing while anchored up? Thanks.

[@CharterFishing]

No I don't but that's a good idea for a future video.

[@homeycheese1]

interesting, you think that will work for BFT on the west coast? We've been using the kite with a rigged flying fish

[@CharterFishing]

I have fished all over the world for tunas. And literally everywhere that I have fished the #1 most effective way to catch tunas is live bait, the #2 most effective way is trolling ballyhoo. I dont know why it would be any different there.

Hello,
What is the name or brand of lure crystal red head that you used at minute 3"05 in this video

My name is Robert here and I've been fishing all my life I worked on sport fishing boats commercial boats how do we apply for a job for working on one of these boats can you please tell us how if you have enough experience and what you doing

[@CharterFishing]

Hi robert. I'm not fishing this year. There is no way really to "apply" other than you just need to be down at the docks where the boats are fishing and when someone needs your help, being there and ready to go is how you get on.

[@robertkeever870]

Please text me and let me know what it is for a one day fishing trip to catch Big Tuna
