 Hello Folks

Well Phil the groundhog was out to-day and proclaimed 6 more weeks of winter. Most guests we have talked with from the midwest states are having a real mild winter, even in Red Lake it's a warmer than normal winter, no record snow falls in our area, Alaska seems to be keeping the snow for themselves. Not much camp news, talked with the former owner of the camp today Francis Honer, he just turned 89 last week he is doing well, just slowing down some. Have had several unexpected June cancellations, a few more cottages are now available.

LEGAL HUNTING IN CANADA

A CANADIAN AND A AMERICAN WERE HUNTING IN CANADIAN WOODS WHEN AN ILLEGAL ALIEN RUNS ACROSS THE FIELD. THE CANADIAN TAKES CAREFUL AIM, SHOOTS, AND KILLS HIM.

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT" CRIED THE AMERICAN.

"NO,NO, IT'S LEGAL HERE IN CANADA,"REPLIES THE CANADIAN. LATER THAT NIGHT, THE AMERICAN GOES AND BUYS SOME BEER AND PUTS IT ON THE ROOF OF HIS TRUCK TO OPEN THE DOOR. JUST THEN A ILLEGAL ALIEN RUNS BY, GRABS THE BEER, AND RUNS AWAY. THE AMERICAN THINKS, "NO PROBLEM," DRAWS HIS PISTOL, SHOOTS, AND KILLS HIM. AS HE IS GETTING HIS BEER THE GAME WARDEN COMES AND ARREST HIM. "BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS LEGAL TO SHOOT ILLEGAL ALIENS HERE IN CANADA"

"WELL, YEAH" SAYS THE WARDEN, "BUT YOU CAN'T USE BAIT"

CATCH YOU LATER.

Hello Folks

Had to make the print a little larger, am getting older & finding the print harder to read. Have had a few inquires as to which sport shows we'll be attending this winter so folks can book at the shows or pay their deposits. We'll NOT be attending any sport shows this winter, we have decided to take a winter off the show circuit & just enjoy a little R&R time. Weather at Gullrock Lake is now like winter with cold temps & more snow falling.  Talked with our camp handyman Keith the other day and he said to say "Hello" to everyone. If planning a trip to Gullrock Lake this summer we would like to hear from you. Still have cottages available most weeks.

WHEN TO START CUSSING!

A SIX-YEAR-OLD AND A FOUR-YEAR-OLD ARE UPSTAIRS IN THEIR ROOM. THE SIX-YEAR-OLD ASKS, "YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME WE STARTED CUSSING" THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD NODS HIS HEAD IN APPROVAL. THE SIX-YEAR-OLD CONTINUES, "WHEN WE GO DOWNSTAIRS FOR BREAKFAST, I'M GONNA SOMETHING WITH "HELL" AND YOU SAY SOMETHING WITH"ASS"-OKAY?. THE FOUR YEAR-OLD AGREES WITH ENTHUSIASM.

WHEN THE MOTHER WALKS INTO THE KITCHEN AND ASKS THE SIX-YEAR-OLD WHAT HE WANTS FOR BREAKFAST, HE REPLIES, "AW, HELL MOM, I GUESS I'LL HAVE SOME CHEERIOS.   WHACK!  HE FLIES FROM HIS CHAIR, TUMBLES ACROSS THE KITCHEN FLOOR, GETS UP, AND RUNS UPSTAIRS CRYING HIS EYES OUT. HIS MOTHER IS IN HOT PURSUIT,SLAPPING HIS REAR-END WITH EVERY STEP. HIS MOM LOCKS HIM IN HIS ROOM AND SHOUTS,"YOU CAN STAY THERE UNTIL I LET YOU OUT"

SHE THEN COMES BACK DOWNSTAIRS, LOOKS AT THE FOUR-YEAR-OLD AND ASKS IN A STERN VOICE"AND WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR BREAKFAST, YOUNG MAN?" "I DON'T KNOW", HE BLUBBERS, BUT YOU CAN BET YOUR FAT ASS IT WON'T BE CHEERIOS!"

Hope everyone had a great Christmas with family & friends. We celebrate the New Year & hope for good health to all. Our New Years celebrations were low key this season, went to bed at 10.30, and woke up without a hang over, it was great. We managed to sell our Florida Home & are now settled into our new home, we just moved 8 houses down the street & used our Riding mower & lawn trailer to move most of the small stuff. Hired two men & a truck to move the heavier furniture. Our office & computers are again up and running and we are now ready to take your reservation. If you are planning a trip we would like to hear from you.

Talked with family in Red Lake and they are having a mild winter so far, don't have a whole lot of snow either. I realize it's still early but more snow will be needed to bring our water table back to a normal level.

Had a walleye dinner the other day, did manage to bring our limit with us this year. Sort of got me in the fishing mood already. Days are getting longer it's cabin fever I guess.

Many of our guests send us email jokes I try & pick the cleaner ones to share with you. Remember they are jokes and not intended to offend anyone. Hope you enjoy them.

LAST WEEK, I TOOK MY GRAND-CHILDREN TO A RESTAURANT. MY SIX-YEAR OLD GRAND-SON ASKED IF HE COULD SAY GRACE.

AS WE BOWED OUR HEADS HE SAID"GOD IS GOOD, GOD IS GREAT, THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD AND I WOULD EVEN THANK YOU MORE IF GRANDPA GETS US ICE CREAM FOR DESERT. AND LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! AMEN"

ALONG WITH THE LAUGHTER FROM THE OTHER CUSTOMERS NEARBY, I HEARD A WOMAN RANT "THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY.KIDS TODAY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRAY" ASKING GOD FOR ICE CREAM! WHY, I NEVER"

HEARING THIS, MY GRAND-SON BURST INTO TEARS AND ASKED ME, "DID I DO IT WRONG? IS GOD MAD AT ME.

AS I HELD HIM AND ASSURED HIM THAT HE HAD DONE A TERRIFIC JOB, AND GOD WAS CERTAINLY NOT MAD AT HIM, AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN APPROACHED THE TABLE. HE WINKED AT MY GRAND-SON AND SAID "I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT GOD THOUGHT THAT WAS A GREAT PRAYER."

"REALLY?' MY GRAND-SON ASKED. "CROSS MY HEART" THE MAN REPLIED.

THEN, IN A THEATRICAL WHISPER, HE ADDED (INDICATING THE WOMEN WHOSE REMARK HAD STARTED THE WHOLE THING), "TOO BAD SHE NEVER ASKS GOD FOR ICE CREAM, LITTLE ICE CREAM IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL SOMETIMES'.

NATURALLY, I BOUGHT MY GRAND-CHILDREN ICE CREAM AT THE END OF THE MEAL. MY GRAND-SON STARTED AT HIS FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN DID SOMETHING I WILL REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

HE PICKED UP HIS SUNDAE AND, WITHOUT A WORD, WALKED OVER AND PLACED IT IN FRONT OF THE WOMEN. WITH A BIG SMILE HE TOLD HER, HERE, THIS IS FOR YOU. SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS YOU GROUCHY OLD BITCH.!"

Catch you later

Hello Folks

Have completed our update of our web site, 2012 rates are now posted.If I have wrong info on your photo send a email & I'll correct it. Once again we are working off two different computers & didn't realize we left a lot of big fish photos on our camp computer. Hope you enjoy the new photos from our guests.

Season Greetings
It’s now time to reflect on our past fishing season, most weeks we had real good fishing, had a cooler than normal spring, but once the weather warmed it stayed hot most of the season with very little rain, which gave us a chance to go out and enjoy Gullrock Lake ourselves. Of coarse the camp was always left in good hands as Keith is knowledgeable in the workings of the resort. He is again returning for the 2012 season. We had fire fighters in camp all of July & Aug. In the first weeks of Sept. all cottages were full of regular guests so we had to say goodbye to these great folks. They worked tirelessly to keep our area protected from forest fires. No fire damage near camp.
 Congratulations to those folks who earned their Catch & Release Hats.
In 2012 we have a new floating dock planned for number 15 cottage. Will continue with our painting projects, it’s a never ending job. As usual will get a lift of pressure treated 2X6’s we always seem to use them up by seasons end. A few more new picnic tables and benches are on the project list as well. Keith hauled a few of the older picnic tables out to a few shore locations last summer, hopefully they will still be there next summer.
 We raised the rate slightly, only by $1.67 more per day.
The summer of 2012 will be our 20^th season at Golden Hook Camp; we continue to enjoy working with our guests to ensure that you have a wonderful vacation experience with us. And look forward to seeing you in 2012.

We'll be traveling over the Christmas Holidays and our office will be closed Dec. 18-26. After that date we'll return any email messages or phone calls. 

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas & Good Health to you and your family in the New Year.

Christmas evening I was invited out for a night with the girls, I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promised

 "! Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. around 3.00 am, a bit loaded, I headed for home. the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. Even totally smashed.... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos=12 cuckoos(MIDNIGHT).

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him"MIDNIGHT"..... He didn't seem pissed off in the least. When, I got away with that one! Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock". When I asked him why, he said last night our  clock cuckooed three times, then said "Oh Shit". Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared it's throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

Hello Folks

Just a quick update to let you know we put our Christmas News Letter & new rate sheet in the mail on Monday. Those that are not on our mailing list if you would like to get on it simply send us your complete mailing address. Now have selected photos to update our web site, so many photos to choose from.  The complete update will take about a week if I can remember how to do it. Hope to start on the weekend.

When Grandma Goes To Court

Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer

In a trail, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked,"Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. you lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs, You think,you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher, yes, "I know you".

The lawyer was stunned, Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked"Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" 

She again replied, " Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state.Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was you wife. "Yes, I know him".

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice said,

"if either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.

CATCH YOU LATER.

Other Items - Non-Resident Outdoors Card

Non-Canadian residents need an Outdoors Card to fish in Ontario if they are 18 years of age and over. (NOTE: Non-residents 65 years of age or older are not exempt from requiring a license). The sport fishing license tag (one year or eight day) or the conservation fishing license tag (one year or eight day) accompanies the plastic Outdoors Card.

If you have never had an Outdoors Card, you can purchase a "Non-Canadian Resident Temporary Fishing Outdoors Card and Application" from one of more than 1,800 license issuers across the province. ( $9.00 Canadian & good for 3 years). The Non-Canadian Resident Temporary Fishing Outdoors Card and Application does not include the fishing license tag. The fishing license tag will be a separate paper permit. The temporary Outdoors Card and paper license are effective immediately. Your plastic Outdoors Card will be mailed to you by year end, and is valid for three calendar years (including the year of purchase).

Non-Canadian resident hunters can also fish under the authority of their Outdoor Card (fishing/hunting version) with the appropriate fishing license tag.

You can also get more information on the Outdoors Card by calling the Outdoors Card Centre at 1-800-387-7011. This toll-free number works from all of North America, from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). For those with the outdoor card this will speed up your check in time, no more license applications to fill out, we'll just add your fishing/hunting validation sticker on to your license.

Using Credit Cards

Anyone paying with a Visa Credit Card will be responsible for the 3% credit card charge. If you don't want to pay the credit card charge, suggest you bring cash or travelers cheques.

Sorry we do not accept personal cheques. Please call us if you have any questions. Tel: (807)727-2708 Reservations: (800)810-1479
