I grew up living right by a lake. I bought a used 12' aluminum jon boat when I was a kid with lawn mowing money. I spent a lot of time in that jon boat paddling it around in search of fish. My childhood partner in crime had a canoe (one of the plastic Coleman canoes when they first came out back I the '70s). Spent a lot of time in that, too.
For fishing, I'd take the jon boat. Much more stable and you can carry more stuff more easily. Pretty easy to maneuver for one person. Easy to add a trolling motor or a small outboard. The canoe was great, but mostly just paddling around. The canoe was more quiet, though, as I had to be careful in the jon boat to not drop the paddle, etc. Whenever we went fishing, we always used my jon boat.
