Jokes in Camp

[Sutsgold]

Anybody care to share any good jokes they had last yeaqr or what they are conjuring up for their camp this year?

A co worker told me about a video some guys had made years ago about their day on the water. Basically one boat filmed the other catching a few fish close to shore. Little did anyone else know that one of the guys had dressed in a gorilla mask and black shirt and wandered in the woods behind the boat. People were in the lodge watching for quite a while before anyone noticed that "Bigfoot" was in the back ground watching the guys fish.

One time my brother had a flask with his mixed drink in it and one of our group dumped it out and replaced it with pickled bologna juice. We cried from laughing so hard.

We had a "scavenger hunt" for a bottle of booze we stashed on an island on one of our fly-ins. We hid the bottle, took pictures for clues and then sent them with another group of family/friends that was going up later in the year. They found and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Another trick for the fly-in...we had one guy who always laid claim the the "best" bed. Well, we got a bit tired of that so we went down to the shore, found a nice big rock and hid it under his mattress and the bed frame. Remember, these are fly-in digs - not the most luxurious beds to begin with. He slept on it all week and complained about how stiff/sore he was every morning. End of the week we took the rock out and he never knew.

For two of the less-than-dedicated fisherman in our fly-in group we replaced all their equipment with Barbie poles and matching Barbie tackle boxes. We did leave them with a few good jigs. To earn their equipment back they had to catch 1 fish with the Barbie pole. They did so quickly and they actually got a bit of a kick out of fishing with the Barbie poles at times the rest of the week.

There are more, but these were some fun and harmless pranks.

One more...this one just up in northern MN, not Canada. We brought our own boats. One of my best friends had just bought his first boat, a really nice used bass boat that he had meticulously prepped for the trip. The particular camp we went to had a camp dog, some mixed breed dog that was very friendly but into everything. We launched the boats and parked them at the dock and the dog was up and down the dock, but not in the boats. The rest of the night (before fishing the next day) we'd make a big deal about going down to the dock and finding that "darn dog" was in the boat - the guy with the new boat was quite unnerved by this. The dog, of course, was innocent. Late that night one of my other good friends snuck down to the dock and placed a very realistic looking pile of fake poop on the front deck of the boat.

The look on my buddies face as we're walking down to the boats the next AM and he spots the large "pile" on his front deck (from about 200 feet away) was absolutely priceless.

we had 1 guy in our group that nailed a reef and took out his lower unit and smashed his prop, when he went home he made an insurance claim and told the insurance company he had a stainless prop (it wasn't). when the company asked to see the damaged prop, he told them he was so po'd that he tossed it into the lake, so he got his replacement stainless prop.

the next year we gave him a plaque that had an equation mounted on it , it was ; an old beat up aluminum prop + a piece of rock = and a piece of stainless steel ,and we asked him if he had patented the process.

Guess you had to be there!!!!

I have a group of 6 that spends a week in a wilderness cabin.No phone,limited electricity,etc. You get the picture.We have been going to the same cabin for about 8 years so I wasn't sure I was going to be able pull off what I had in mind. I worked in the telephone business and had brought with me an old phone and a ring generator. What the ring generator does is with the help of a battery,allow you make the telephone ring. We used it to train business customers how to handle call transfers etc. Half way through the week after we had all had a few beers,I set the phone up in a corner of the cabin.Everyone knew what was happening except one of my friends who always seems to get a call from his wife when we are out having fun. When the phone rang another accomplice standing close picked it up and announced that it was John's wife for John. He shook his head sheepishly and started to get up to take the call before he realized we were all howling at his momentary belief in our charade....Paybacks are a *****. I sleep with one eye open.

Long time ago we were at a camp near gullrock in the spring. The camp was not modern (outhouse only).
Spring temp.at that was freezing at night. One of the guys had weak kidneys and had to releive himself during the night. He had an empty coffee can under his bed and when the urge arose he peed in it. One night after to many drinks (all of us)he went to bed. One of us (no longer with us) had the brillant idea to cut the bottom out on Ole's coffee can. Two AM (got the picture) Ole hasn't been fishing with since.
