Thanks guys. Sounds like hard work, surely the fish can't eat all the joker can they? Dont they breed like mad?
Thanks

had a look at 6 ponds near eachover with no sucsess, about 6 joker and 3 bw lol, the lakes everyone said were silty were actually gravel! I dont think there much of it down south.

Dan, I wouldnt go and get joker yourself mate; there are all sorts of 'nasties, in joker streams, that's why they are there in the first place.

Woodrot was 4ft 11inches before he went in any joker stream. He is now 4ft 2inches, got green eyes, a black tongue and has forgotten how to work a computer.

Don't let it happen to you.

LOL ok might scrap the joker idea, still looking out for a good bw place but they aint easy to find

They are often closely guarded secrets Minnowmaster.

I've known several guys in the past - one who fishes the gruellers still does - who've collected joker for us and small amounts of worm

Some just wouldnt disclose where they got it from, some other 'sources' became public knowledge and ended up 'cleaned out'

Think some of Dodge's associates used to come down regularly to a 'fertile' spot not a million miles away from where we live in the Midlands - and that's a hour plus jaunt down the motorway.....

Talking of Dodge - there was a good article in the Match Angler last year, perhaps the year before, of one of his team mates - the last 'commercial' joker scraper who was hanging up his meshes and calling it a day - a really good read if you can lay your hands on it - think you'll find it quite 'informative' and you may understand more of Joffies advice to 'buy it'
