Trolling vs. drifting - why?

[Skists]

I have been fishing the lake since the early 70's. I jigged and cast for most of those, but the last 6 to 8 I have trolled.
My reason is my shoulders. When you get into your 70's you don't have the level of strength and I would have issues with them for hours sometimes days.
When I troll I can fish 3, 4 or 5 days in a row. I love to fish like most on this board and I will try to continue as long as I am above ground.
I enjoyed jigging, now but now enjoy trolling.
Just saying!!

Yep, this makes sense and I certainly don't dislike trolling as I still take part in it, when needed. It's great that you still get to enjoy fishing.
