Location
Joca lake is located in the northern part of Serbia, nearby the village Belo Blato; 1 hour ahead of GMT
Characteristics
The water surface of Lake Joca covers an area of 500 hectares, the water depth is 1-5 meters and about 50% of the lake is coverd with reed.
Description
The lake is fed with very good water from the Tisza River, which has a wealth of fish. The lake of Joca is one of the many lakes in the area of Carska Bara. It is the largest individual bog, the biggest nature reserve in Serbia, and one of the major in Europe. It is located in the Banat region of the province of Vojvodina. Overall, it is pretty shallow and has many underwater branches and weeds. This is where the tricky part is to feel in the “wood” and try to avoid hooking the “trees”. This is the kind of place where spinning fisherman could not fish easily without hooking their lure.
Fish Species
Lake Joca has a big diversity of fish species including Pike (Esox lucius), Perch (Perca fluviatilis), Catfish (Silurus glanis), Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and many more.

The recommended gear is a 9-10 wt rod no longer than 10 ft, a floting line, strong fluorocarbon leader about the length of the rod and prefarably atleast a 40 cm trace but it’s not necessary. Spining gear is also an option.
