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.

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.
