Default Fishing while kayak touring?

Trolling is definitely a possibility. I catch hybrid striped bass by
trolling a streamer fly on a flyrod behind my kayak.

I've recently gotten very interested in sea kayaking, and I've been
taking lessons with an eye towards touring on the great lakes.

I haven't read much on kayak fishing, but it seems like most folks
mount poles on the hulls of their kayaks and fish while stationary in
the middle of some body of water. Could one fish while in motion, or
would paddle action disturb fish too much to expect to catch anything?
I guess I'm wondering if it's common to rig something up for trolling
behind the craft as you're busy trying to paddle from point A to point
B.

thanks,
