Hey Outdoor Odyssey friends!
It’s been way too long since we posted here. Sorry about the radio silence. Life’s been full with family time and multiple shop/service expanding projects. We’ve been staying busy outdoors and can’t wait to catch up with all of you.

This past weekend our family headed over to Pennessewassee Lake in Norway for the 4th annual ice fishing derby. The community was out in full force supporting Moose Maine Kids, the ice was perfect, and we had a great day making memories together. We didn’t haul in any derby winners, but the laughs, fresh air, and time on the ice made it a day we’ll remember. Here are some real shots from the day. Hope they bring a smile!

Back in the workshop I’ve been hand-making maple tip-ups from scratch. Got two solid prototypes finished and tested on the ice. They’re looking and working great, but I’m still tweaking a few final things before they’re where I want them. I've also been 3D printing replacement spools for tip-ups. They're very durable and customizable. More live bait options coming soon too.

What’s ONE feature you can’t live without on a tip-up?
