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 when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side.
Trolling fishing is a highly successful method, and the best session is in the morning

The boat is not moving and is anchored near a fishing spot such as a coral reef or rocky area. There is no specific best time, but at night there is more success
