Essentially trolling. But if you’re pulling a jig or a lindy rig I’d also accept dragging or rigging.

This sounds pretty simple to me. If you have a line in the water working it back and forth using a motor, then you are trolling.
If you have the motor off and you are passing over the area with a line in the water, then you are drift fishing.

Fishing from a boat, un-anchored, lines out at 45°, moving with outboard motor, baits at bottom, working an area 100 yards long, moving forward, moving backward. Is this trolling?
Need to settle a discussion.

Absolutely trolling, unless you cast out behind the boat, retrieved immediately, and cast again.

What do you call it?

I think I would call it bottom bouncing because baits were not swimming thru the water which I'd then call trolling.

A few years ago when trolling was illegal on many WI lakes, that would certainly be called trolling, regardless of the baits used. That was the definition I was working from. I see your point about "trolling" typically meaning pulling a lure.

I'd only call it bottom bouncing if you were indeed using bottom bouncers. if not using a bottom bouncer, then I'd call it rigging"
That’s what I was gonna say. But then… what do you call it when you use a bottom bouncer to suspend big minnows 30 feet down over 80 fow? Fishing guide taught us that one, absolutely slays the suspended lake trout.

I'd only call it bottom bouncing if you were indeed using bottom bouncers. if not using a bottom bouncer, then I'd call it rigging.

I agree, rigging or dragging might be the best description, depending on the tackle involved. I wouldn't call it trolling unless a crank or stick bait of some sort was being used. I for sure wouldn't call it spoonplugging @ 45°.
