How to Troll

Lately it seems that many people here on chess.com are interested in learning about trolling. So for those people, I'd like to share an article I found on the internet, which I think explains the technique of trolling very well.

 

Original source: http://www.fishingwithpiotr.com/fishing-basics/trolling-101/

 

Trolling is a method used by many anglers to cover a lot of water in hopes of catching one of the larger species of fish such as walleye, musky, or pike. Trolling involves casting your bait and letting the line go out as you slowly putt your boat through the water. By casting your bait out and keeping your bail open you will allow the bait to move out a safe distance away from the wake of your boats motor so as not to spook the fish. Of course, once your bait is about 50-60 metres away you should close your bail just in case a fish bites and to begin your troll. Once your bait is out in the water you can hold your rod or use a rod holder and simply manoeuvre your boat through canals, around structure, or through open waters in hopes of catching a hungry monster. This method is very successful when using larger baits such as large crank baits, large spinner baits, or big spoons. As larger fish species tend to cruise around looking for a quick snack, a well presented bait that is moving through the water with a bit of speed can entice them to bite. By trolling you may not put as many fish in your boat as you would when you are fishing for pan fish but when you do catch a fish using this method it is usually a trophy.

You're welcome! I know how frustrating it can be when you're doing it the wrong way, and nobody - I mean nothing - takes the bait.

Disappointed Macer!!

A Troll is an ugly creature dangerous to humans & is usually found hiding under bridges & most especially in forums. Origins trace back to Norse Mythology. They don't fish from a boat, they leap out upon you much like the infamous Australian Drop Bear. Trolls should be approached with Extreme caution & if one grabs you you should immediately Castle to safety.

Trolling is the act of being a Troll & exhibiting the above behaviour. They also have an agenda, although being notoriously dim witted & slow they are increasing in numbers to eventually take down chess.com before moving on to World domination & an eventual Armageddon like showdown in a Troll vs Zombie Appocalypse of which of course a Movie will be made.

Many Mothers in Law are mistaken as Trolls which although is incorrect has bought many people to their knees especially non Chess player who do not know how to Castle.

With the sad demise of Chess Super Hero Bobby Fischer a few years ago there is currently no-one paranoid enough to meet Trolls on their own ground & destroy them, usually with the deadly Najdorf Sicilian or the lethal Grunfeld Defence.

I greatly fear for the future of Mankind & do not belief the current Chess hero Magnus Carlson has the powers to help us.

Please adjust your thread to help save Mankind from a fate worse than Stalemate with 4 Queens vs a lone King
