I've got the same thing going on in Hudson River Valley, NY.
The JBs seem to like my Fuggles, Perle and Liberty but not my Centennial.
For those looking for nematodes, Garden's Alive is a good source, although maybe not the cheapest. Their product is called Grub-Away.
JBs are crappy flyers-- I go ever my plants once a day, find the bastards , cup my hand under the leaf and smack the leaf so they drop into my hand, then smash 'em. If they're "at it" all the better-- you get two (or three!) at a time that way.
I think I'm going to get a decent harvest this year from all my vines-- last year I was blindsided by the destruction and got nothing.
