The Fishing for Tyler event

[crappieperchhunter]

Since many liked this drill adapter I have made up, I have decided that I wont be making spud bars this year. I will be making a few of these with extentions. Good luck to those that pick one up.

Class all the way Brian. I'm sure they won't sit on the table long.

[Gerritt]

And another. I will try to find a better quality one.

 

 

Thankfully I have list a few pounds since then.... Where being called a FF was an honour! I will see what I am able to come with for the prize table.... Tyler's mom, have to put anything together to present yourself to the community/donors? If so please send me a copy to give to my overlords

I saw this on Facebook and am posting here for any new members who might be wondering what it is all about...

 

Tyler is 17 years old and was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder when he was 3 years old. Tyler lives in Innisfil, Ontario with his mother Elisa, father Terry and little sister Tiffany. Tyler attends Grade 12 full time in a life skills class in Alcona Ontario. Tyler requires extensive therapies which his parents struggle financially to provide. These therapies include Speech and Language Therapy and Occupational Therapy.

Fishing for Tyler is an Ice fishing fund raiser that was started 10 yrs ago to help ease the financial burden and provide Tyler greater opportunity to learn and communicate. At age 6 Tyler was removed from a waiting list to receive funding for IBI/ABA and other therapies. At that time it was thought people living with Autism could no longer benefit enough to warrant the money these therapies cost.

After a lot of fighting by the parents of those living with Autism, the age was raised, and Tyler once again was on a waiting, list....near the bottom. Over time he did receive funding from various sources, not the least of which was the Fishing for Tyler fund raiser.

Tyler lost his government funding in August 2013. and no longer receives IBI/ABA therapy due to the high cost. Tyler learns and grows every day, I have seen the changes in him over the years, and he will continue to learn and grow, and thrive as long as he is able to continue receiving the therapy he needs.

This year is the 10th anniversary of Fishing for Tyler, and has gone from a small group of about 25 people, to over 200 people attending. People from all ages and abilities come out and enjoy the day, from Tyler's 97yr old great grandmother to one and two year old infants and every age in between. No special equipment is needed, and no special skills. If you don't fish, no problem, come out and enjoy the day along with a BBQ lunch, enter the prize draw and walk away with a smile, knowing you've helped make a difference in someones life.

Brian those are amazing

 

Pete thanks.

As time has gone by,I have refined it. the black phantoms are my best work.

 

We drilled today with just mine. Ice is 28 inches today. Burned 13 holes,then had to switch up batteries.

 

Im thinking with the 8" fin bor,it will work just as good. Not as many holes,but atleast I wont have to drill side by sides or mickey mouse holes.

 

The wife likes it also. No fumes from an auger head in the condo.

[Fisherpete]

Haha amazing!

[misfish]

Anyone that will be attending this years event,and has a 8" finbor 3,would you mind if I tried it with my drill attachment ? I just want to see if the drill will hold up to it. We can just try the ice out from the launch.

 

Thanks.

I have used my drill with an 8" fin bore 3 and it didn't have any problem at all other than it only drilled about 12 holes through 18" of ice per battery.
