The action of the rod is being absolutely superb! Stiff butt section and nice soft top one, no flat spots.....brilliant! Thanks Jon, great vid as usual! 👍
Just beginning to suffer from Arthur withdrawal symptoms and this came up. Great watch, that slow start spoilt it for you. Keep fish and videos coming please.
Great video jon its a pitty those fish didn't come earlier they were good stamp fish. Anyway hope you get more room in next match i can see what you mean you were in a tight spot there and only a small window to fish but still good weight keep the videos coming tight lines 🎣👍
Unlucky Jon.. What do you do about no shows must drive you lads mad, the spare peg must give some an advantage... Great video again Jon keep up the great work 👍
I prefer small wafters mostly combined with a heavyish hook so they stay put, but will use sinkers if the equivalent hook bait is too buoyant for the hook or if I want the hook bait to stay firmly in the pile of feed. Its worth experimenting on the day with both.
It’s a great vid again from the 5-a-day AC. The vid peaked for me @ 1:50 😂 I thought you’d get at least a couple from that fishy looking margin, but hey ho. Cheers daft lad 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
Well done John but hard lines also ,you've tried your best and tried all your watercraft knowledge but it seamed you were right from the off with peg not being very clever and what more important lack of room as evidently not catching down margins. Good luck and all the best in future qualifiers. 👍
What are you like!? Too mild for barbel and really didn't think you'd win with them even if they fed. Your peg 2/3 down wasn't drawn btw as one of the many no shows!
It's the same reel, I just popped the single on so I could identify the one Id put new line on, then stuck with it since as Im happy with either double or single tbh
Why is it these places just don’t have a cut off time to book on and after that you don’t fish. Then draw accordingly to even out the swims? It’s not rocket science 🫣. Do these organisers just sit in their clubhouse sniffing maggot juice all day counting their pots of gold???? Liz Truss wasn’t running it was she?
Thanks John, not your day but lived watching the beautifully edited video
Glad you enjoyed it

Cheers CC!
Although you said you didn’t expect much from the peg, you kept going . Enjoyed the video Jon.
Cheers Allan
Thanks Jon…..really enjoyed that one. Nice to see how you explained & worked to get most out of your swim. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it
You worked hard for your fish today I think the best thing I get out of watching your videos is don’t give up.
Thanks Ray, I tried although never ever felt I was going to win on this occasion...
Just beginning to suffer from Arthur withdrawal symptoms and this came up. Great watch, that slow start spoilt it for you. Keep fish and videos coming please.
Cheers Andy
The thing that annoys me most when I’m fishing is the wind. At least with rain you can just stick an umbrella up! Nice video again👍
Many thanks
Hiya Jon another good vid, nice to see you and Dave together I follow you both on youtube look forward to next vid 👍
Cheers for watching Geoff
well done Jon you did well to get them feeding but needed a few more, Thank you 👍👍
Cheers JA
Great video jon its a pitty those fish didn't come earlier they were good stamp fish. Anyway hope you get more room in next match i can see what you mean you were in a tight spot there and only a small window to fish but still good weight keep the videos coming tight lines 🎣👍
Next time!
Good result from a poor peg Jon, best you could have done mate, love watching your live matches, keep em coming

Unlucky mate,draw bag is a bugger sometimes,cracking match video at least👍
Cheers pal
Unlucky Jon.. What do you do about no shows must drive you lads mad, the spare peg must give some an advantage... Great video again Jon keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, I think no shows have ruined top flight match fishing tbh, but there are sensible ways around it if the organisers can be bothered... 👍
Good day but not great John better luck next time you may get sume room great vidio and banter thight lines
Next time!
Great video Jon wish my casting was that accurate
Thanks 👍
hi Jon great vid ,can you tell us were you using the rod you had clipped up to far bank down the margins and short ,or were they separate rods .
Same rod down the sides and short as definitely don't want to clip up close in on a venue like this! I clipped up when I went 3/4 and tight across.
Hi Jon just got around to watching as been on holiday, great vid as usual. Quick question, when would you use a wafter over a sinker and vice versa
I prefer small wafters mostly combined with a heavyish hook so they stay put, but will use sinkers if the equivalent hook bait is too buoyant for the hook or if I want the hook bait to stay firmly in the pile of feed. Its worth experimenting on the day with both.
It’s a great vid again from the 5-a-day AC.
The vid peaked for me @ 1:50 😂
I thought you’d get at least a couple from that fishy looking margin, but hey ho.
Cheers daft lad 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌
It was one of those days. Some matches yo can start and finish down the edge at Decoy but a bit diff with such tight pegging on one bank
Hi John great bit of filming again..what landing net handle is that your using
Matrix Horizon 4m at it's 3m length with the two thicker sections. Mega stiff and strong!
Another enjoyable video thanks.
Cheers Chris
are you going to do some videos on this years thames festival?
I hopefully have all the footage still to go through, so yes hopefully, but we'll have to wait and see...
Well done John but hard lines also ,you've tried your best and tried all your watercraft knowledge but it seamed you were right from the off with peg not being very clever and what more important lack of room as evidently not catching down margins. Good luck and all the best in future qualifiers. 👍
Thanks Albert 👍
Thought there was only barbel in there !😀
What are you like!? Too mild for barbel and really didn't think you'd win with them even if they fed. Your peg 2/3 down wasn't drawn btw as one of the many no shows!
Last time i was at decoy we was peg for peg down one side and i couldnt catch down edge but my topktit and one line was solid
Yep in hindsight I should have filled it in 3-4m, not down the sides with an angler either side. Thats one thing I came away wishing I'd done...
Well done pal 👍
Thanks Martin
Hi Jon,
What feeder system was you using on this match (ie) interchangeable for speed.)
Cheers.
Matrix method feeder with the Elasticated tubes: www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/matrix-elasticated-tubes?c=feeders-leads
Unlucky Jon. Had to be the filling in the sandwich. I still think 87Lbs was not a bad result. Cheers
Cheers Peter
Reel looks more powerful than the double handled ones.
It's the same reel, I just popped the single on so I could identify the one Id put new line on, then stuck with it since as Im happy with either double or single tbh
bet mr wood was calling your casting, like does in his videos
Yep but he's got nowt on me lad! Ha ha!
Crossbar challenge 😂😂
Come play for Leeds 😊
😂😂
Next time Jon!
Hope so!
