  Not to hijack further but 'troll' is technically fine there. troll ... 4.(intransitive, fishing, by extension) To fish using a line and bait or lures trailed behind a boat similarly to trawling; to lure fish with bait.

    It's not fine because "troll" would be recognised here as the standard meaning, not the meaning from 1600.
