I smell a troll.
He is your dad, it is his boat, he probably pays for everything?
Nuff Sed.

He has posted a ton of posts recently all over the place. I tend to agree…
He says, “We should troll.” You say, “OK dad, sounds good. By the way, thanks for bringing me with you today. If we don’t have any luck trolling, want to bottom fish a little later?”

It sounds like you are young so I will give you this advice. Enjoy the time you get to spend with your Dad. Whether you catch any fish or not, it will be time well spent and will be looked back on fondly one day. I wish I had spent more time with mine.

may I ask what this means?

It means, don’t get happy and go to work for Boeing making planes, until you have your fish locked up:wink:
So go fishing before work? I like that!

I have an Uncle that’s a pediatrician, his favorite thing to ask teenagers is - “Have you noticed your parents getting really stupid lately?”
The older you get the smarter your dad will seem! 
some people just have ways that they PREFER to fish!
one such example is some people would rather fish artificials for trout or bass(reds), although the number of bites is usually skewed, more towards live bait. Give him his jollys since you are on his boat and show that youre responsible…earn his trust, give due respect to “the captain” and for pete sake dont argue!~~~ before long you could earn permission to take the boat to fish wherever and however you please. when that time comes, just remember to save him a couple nice fillets 
best advise is to learn what you can from his strategy, what does/doesn’t work(tide stage,lure color,etc.) it will make you a better and more well rounded fisherman in the long run.

This is some great advice.

Go trolling with your dad and be joyful over whatever you catch, and save the lousy days for good laughs later on.
When you’re old enough to afford your own boat, fish however you want to.
If you make a big deal out of this now with your dad, you absolutely will regret it later on after he’s gone. My dad took me fishing a lot, but he was far, far from a pro (except crappie, he could catch crappie out of a ditch if he wanted to). We got skunked a lot, and I often asked him to go fish in certain places/ways, but we always did whatever it was he decided. Often, it was a flop. I have no regrets whatsoever, we loved every minute of it.
