Fishing Tips: How to Troll a Mark | Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

Tuna and that market you saw right there is, in fact, a giant bluefin tuna. We're actually trolling right now; we're down to the Outer Banks, and we're fishing with ballyhoos and a green stick deployed.

We've been marking fish radically throughout the day, but when you see them off like that, those fish aren't really dotted up. There's some movement to them; they're up high in the water column. All of our baits are suspended somewhat on the surface, so when you see a bar like that, you definitely get a little bit excited. Prepare yourself; at any moment, one of those fish can jump off.

We didn't get a bite that pass, but now what I'm going to do is save on ball to my plotters and try and find that mark again. I'm just going to stay on that mark, stay on that farm. I try to make as many passes on that bar until I get one of them just to make a mistake and to jump off my stuff. That's the name of the game, you know?

When you see marks like that on the sounder, you know it's not one fish, it's not two fish. They're not deep; if they were deeper, we wouldn't get so excited because, you know, our stuff is all on the surface. But the fact that these fish are only 100 to 70 feet below the surface, we have a very good shot of raising them to get a bite out.

So the type of fishing we do when you're in the Outer Banks right now with the green stick on the surface, the ballyhoos—those are the marks you're looking for. That's definitely what we want to see with your movement down there.
