Trolling

Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water at a consistent, low speed. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e. g.

when fishing from a jetty.
Trolling is used to catch pelagic fish such as salmon, mackerel and kingfish.
