trolling

Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water behind a moving boat.  There are many variations of trolling using different spreads and speeds.

Trolling is a technique used by big-game anglers for species such as Tuna and Wahoo as well as for smaller game such as Spanish mackerel and bonito.

It is often used as the primary means for catching fish but sometimes is used for locating certain species of fish then other methods such as sight casting, jigging and fly fishing are employed.
