At certain times of the year, trolling is THE best option and one can find the motherload of big fish. AND...on some of those days where all the fish seemed to have disappeared on you...trolling just outside of the normal casting spots can locate those fish that have just moved off the structure.
We also should not forget that gin clear water is tough either way, and trolling is sometimes the best option.
I know of guys who troll all summer on the waters that has quite a few spots I spend time casting....and they catch the bigger fish. Was not all that long ago a buddy of mine managed to nab what he felt was an extremely old fish that went 64" long when measured. Head was huge but the body was thinned out tremendously.
I know I'm not going to knock anyone for trolling between spots...as I believe DougJ would say, "keep your lure wet."
