We're getting a good look at the new 2025 Angler Quest Pro Troll on this edition of the podcast as Mike Avery talks about his new boat with Brad Dupuie.

Avery describes his experiences on the water with the new 8524 including ride, performance, the new work station...and fit and finish.

The two long time anglers also discuss smaller design improvements like a new canvas material, better access to the running light and drains on the cup holders.

The conversation also turns to Saginaw Bay walleye fishing and the upcoming Angler Quest Owners Tournament at the Linwood Beach Marina.

We're talking with the man behind the boat this month on the Angler Quest podcast, "Mr. Angler Quest"...Brad Dupuie.

Brad describes his experience on the water with the new design. He say's it's more robust and solid with the ride and performance AQ is known for.

He talks about a couple of prototype items including bigger tubes and a "steer by wire" autopilot system that will likely be offered as an option on all models.

The long time Saginaw Bay angler then goes into detail about his walleye trolling program and why he has confidence in spoons and jet divers.

We're kicking off the summertime fishing season on the Angler Quest podcast with Tom Block of Eye Got It Charters.

Tom is a Saginaw Bay charter captain who targets walleye with his 8526 Pro Troll.

The recent AQ convert talks about why he switched to an Angler Quest and the camaraderie of the Angler Quest Family.

Tom describes planer board management and how he can run 8 boards off each side with minimal tangles.

He also talks about his love for "skinny water" fishing and why water color is so important.

Block then talks about plastic vs live bait and Saginaw Bay fishing compared to Lake Erie.
