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

I'm not sure poles are that popular. You can troll or jig with just a spool
of line. I saw in Sea Kayaker magazine that someone was using a kite spool,
a "hoop spool", like the ones on this page:

I haven't fished from a kayak myself, but it seems to make sense.
