Maybe I'm the one who gets easily confused when talking about trolling. For most of my life trolling was done with a rod or two off the back of the boat. Now trolling can also mean "pushing" which is on the front of the boat with one to eight lines nearly perpendicular to the water (pushing). So, for example, if someone says they are trolling using a Capps & Coleman rig I wonder if they are using the rig correctly because I don't think you can pull a C&C rig, it is made for pushing.
OK, maybe I'm making something out of nothing, I just want a clear understanding of what someone is doing when they tell me they are "trolling."
