My Dad, especially as he got older, loved to troll. I found it to be among the most boring ways to spend time. Any time fishing is fine, but for me, time spent fishing from a boat is not often fun or successful. Occasionally. I took my kids fishing in boats, canoes, from shore, and such. They seemed to enjoy it but were more interested in other things.

I may (and some folks here would dispute the "may") be weird, but a small stream with actively feeding fish is Nirvana. Right now, if I were asked where I wanted to go chase fish the list would include Iceland, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Wyoming, Alaska, and California before we even hit something from here. Even then, there are a few places here.
