Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water
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 mackerel, tuna and kingfish.
Trolling from a moving boat involves moving quite slowly through the water.
Multiple lines are often used, and outriggers can be used to spread the lines more widely and reduce their chances of tangling.
Downriggers can also be used to keep the lures or baits trailing at a desired depth.
here is an active boat just below
The two poles extending from the boat are called outriggers
and there you can see the fishing lines attached to the outriggers
the fishermen are refueling
