Trolling

Trolling is a fishing technique in which one or more fishing gear is dragged behind the boat. Trolling is practiced both in the lake and in the sea, fishing with artificial lures or natural bait. The speed at which trolling is done depends on the species to be fished and also on the type of bait being used.

Trolling with live bait is usually done at low speeds. Fishing for tuna or marlin is usually done with artificial lures at 6 - 10 knots. Coastal Species such as dentex or sea bass prefer speeds of less than 4 knots.
