We're looking into 2026 on this edition of the Angler Quest podcast with "Mr. Angler Quest", Brad Dupuie.

Brad talks about two new models unveiled at the recent dealer show at Linwood Beach Marine. Those include a smaller, inexpensive "Leisure Quest" line and a new T-Top model called the "Fish n Cruise".

That center console boat is designed for a variety of fishing tactics, including the popular forward facing sonar (livescope). The center benches allow for 360 degrees of fishing access and is expected to be very popular in many parts of the country.

The "Leisure Quest" line features small boats designed primarily for inland lakes and rivers. These inexpensive boats feature the top quality design and construction of the Angler Quest line.

Brad also discusses his fishing and promotion plans for the upcoming fall season.
