Simple Match Fishing Forum

I had some joker left over after sunday so i mixed it with damp leam, wrapped it in paper, put it in the freezer. Is it ok to do this and how many times can you freeze it ?

A lot of people use frozen joker. I've used it in the past to catch skimmers and gudgeon but i've always added a bit of live stuff to it.

Frozen joker is excellent for bonus fish....ie skimmers,bream and big roach especially when fed in leam or groundbait with some live stuff

I personally dont bother with it much. If you do freeze it i would recommend only doing it once so split it up into session-sized quantities before freezing.

Bet it would be good on Barston

i've tried it at barston i did'nt have the best draw of draws but caught more than they did around me i don't think it gets pushed along with the under tow as much as live and skimmers do like to stay over it

I used some on the sensas challenge final last year on the stainy joff,

I caught skimmers both days and just missed out on a individual medal by 1 point I had a 10 point total over the 2 days including a section win

yes dodge3 i remember that match, used sum dead joker on my end peg and well you remember what happened!!!!!!!!
day2 fed far too much bait!!! oops.

thinking about it might work up on cudmore specially the new pools loads of skimmers in them its just the weather thats killing it :(

i enjoyed that match but it only took us 167 days to get the trophy and money still got it in the end

thats because you've got too much money

I was a drawbag job second day diddy......i had will raison,jean desque,alan scotthorne,sean ashby oh and hughsie lol all around me on day 2,........think i drew peg 257 on the flats,i had 5 small skimmers and interestingly no one else around me caught any.I hooked a 8oz skimmer on the whistle but didnt have it clear of the water in time  :'( cost me big time  :( :(  only sean beat me ,he caught small perch & roach and got a medal i think  

Were you next to jiffy bag on day 2 Ian ??  He blanked aswell  LOL

Gonna be an out and out drawbag job cudmore joff.......the carp are always very tightly shoaled this time of year and can do your head in....specially foul hooking........plenty of other species to catch tho joff off any peg

tell me about it there is a lot more to this carp fishing than meets the eye i'm always wanting to feed but you can't last week it had a inche and a half of ice on it everyone had to use ice breakers and still 35lb won the match from a peg that had fished the day before

drew two away from the rail bridge and had a few perch for about 600grms which was ok in the bit i was in.
bit of a cum down from day 1

Sorry mate lol,

Diddy blitzed the first day against a truely top class field of 150 including world champions and loads of international anglers aswell as the top teams from england..........dont be embarassed diddy tell us all about it nice one


Joffs leicester sensas won the team event after some dodgy arithmatic from mark downes...........matty forster battered him off the next peg on day one.........after mark tried to talk matty into balling in coz his balls of feed were apparently too big for his cup kit according to the england manager
"Nowt wrong with em" said matty "proper jobbies them" he told the england manager.
The 5 minute feeding hooter went off.......matty cupped in his feed beautifully under the watchfull eye of the england manager

Mr downes shipped out with his feed.........got to 8mtrs and his pole snapped .........

Absolutely true story fellas




Think lloydy won an individual medal aswell

that was the week before as i was up there at the time wednesday it was'nt a massive amount and they did'nt feed last sunday matey mainly tench some big carp to 10lb in suez half in each side don't know much about brewster its not been in any of the matches i've fished

dodge that rings a bell these matches under CIPS rules should be policed the same that five minute feeding and then only one handed believe me i've seen the best on barston use two hands mid match and the five minute before the end at barston it never happened in one match yet one or two caught fish
at the end of the day you just don't get away with it in europe
mark should himself have stewards and bait checks are a laugh

It was all above board joff........no probs  

It was just mark using his experience.......a lot of anglers were in two minds that day whether to ball it in or cup it in.

Matty stuck to his guns and cupped it in...........it was just so funny that the england manager who is so versed with CIPS rules mixed his feed too heavy that it broke his number 4 section while shipping out  



Its amazing how much joker you can get in a small drennan bait tub tho................specially if you warm the lid up     lol  ;)

I never heard a 5 minute allout hooter on day 2 when i hooked that 8oz skimmer and had to chuck it back
