Trolling, method of fishing in which a lure or a bait is pulled behind a boat at varying speeds and depths according to the nature, habitat, and size of the fish being sought.

So why is back-trolling so effective? “The bow swings too much for precision trolling forward,” Roach says. He also says the flat part of the transom allows an angler much more boat control. “It also allows you to hold yourself better in the current (for river fishing).”

Back-trolling in rivers is a rather unique steelhead fishing method that uses the boat to present wobbling plugs to fish holding in runs and shallow holes. Rod holders are used to space out the rods and allow the plugs to fish without tangling among other lines.

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.

Trolls will frequently try to attack something you have revealed you like or are in favor of. If someone is trying to insult your tastes directly, or if they’re generally bashing the topic of a forum or post, you probably have a troll on your hands. Another way to spot a troll is by their persistence.

Trolls are people who leave intentionally provocative or offensive messages on the internet in order to get attention, cause trouble or upset someone.

Not all trolls exhibit traits like low affective empathy or psychopathy. Some may simply be motivated by negative social rewards, like creating mayhem. Due to the addictive nature of rewards, there may be an addictive element to trolling.

Trolls: Some Examples

• Fraud. Internet trolling for monetary gain has been around a long time on the internet.
• Building false hopes. In early 1998 an “announcement” was made, by email distribution, of an advancement in diabetic research:
• Security Details.
• Wanton Damage.
• The Thrill of the Chase.
• Conclusion.

Trolling is a form of baiting online which involves sending abusive and hurtful comments across all social media platforms. This can be prosecuted under the Malicious Communication Act 1988 and the Communications Act 2003.

You feel shielded from reality, you start to think you can be as honest as you like. And perhaps because you feel voiceless, perhaps because you’re unhappy or maybe because you’re very unhappy, you start being cruel to strangers because causing those strangers pain makes you feel better.

According to the conventional wisdom of the internet, there’s one simple guideline for responding to trolls: don’t feed them. Ignore them, don’t react to them, don’t give them the attention they want.

It’s common now to see “trolling” trotted out as a euphemism for harassment and abuse, most often on social media. “Trolling” allows malicious behaviour to be set apart from acts we would strongly resist offline.

Persons engaging in Internet trolling are immediately committing an offence under the Malicious Communications Act. If the reason for that communication was to cause distress or anxiety to the recipient or to any other person, then the sender is guilty of an offence.

Trolls only succeed when no one stands up to them. So the best way to defeat a troll is by creating an environment of support and encouragement. They snark and whine, undermine and belittle. Counter that nonsense with loud, clear messages to the contrary.

They hunt humans because trolls generally are very fond of human flesh. When they aren’t hungry, they throw stones at people and destroy human villages located in the mountains. There are also some subtypes of Jötnar who live in the sea or forests.
