Really well fish again Jon second on the lake can't complain at that... I thought you was in with a chance with that weight, must have fished its socks off in areas some great weights for this time of year... Great video again mate well done 👍
Love the video Jon, nice to see you be able to do some mugging and catch carp in a match in February, you did well mate as it seemed like you was in good company that day. I'm glad I subscribed and finally joined your members section of your channel as well as your other channel as I have enjoyed every video I have watched and picked up some good tips along the way
nice video jon some stonking weight,s for winter .being on a ball of fish is one thing.. but being on the king ball is another,,, i doubt you could have done more to win a weight more than the winner you can only catch whats in front of you ,nice video jon tight lines and full nets,,
Just thought I'd look in for the 1st time in over a year, and see how you are. Still getting you nets filled! So that hadn't changed. Nice to see you Jon. Take care. TTFN
Great vid Jon.. now got my dad watching you as he sadly cannot venture out on the bank anymore.. his words were “ is this John Wilson’s son”…. I rest my case.. thanks Jon for making him smile 👊🏻
A good days fishing Jon. I couldn't see that you could have done any more. Lots of good weights for February, and some big names too. It's warming up now, so take care of that arm and be ready for the next one. Good job. 👍
Yes warm February. Iv had the best middle to late February ever on the rivers. 70-80LB bream nets. 30LB of roach. Last 2/3 weeks has finished its, socks off. Even Saturday gone. When we had 4 seasons in one hour. Wind, rain, snow, sun but skimmers, roachand bream still feeding all through the, day. 🙅♂️
Thanks MMF, no it was two weeks before the Final. I had a nice 103lb and 4th in match on Damson the following week then a 3rd on Beastie on the actual Final. Our team had a brilliant score on Decoy but didn't do any good on the drains so we came 10th out of 31 teams. We actually had the best overall team weight, too, more than Barnsley, not that that counted for anything! :-)
Hi Jon, does the fishes hearing get better in the clearer water? you don't normally whisper so quiet. Or is it your brain playing tricks on you because you can see the fish.
I think match anglers are the least stealthy of all anglers and yes I'm sure the clearer and calmer the water the more easily they are spooked. So many match anglers don't pay any attention to all the noise and disturbance they make
Heck! Imagine me coming from an 80's background - winning matches with 2 or 3 pounds of gudgeon and Tommy Ruffe - then seeing how fishing is now - it's crazy Jon! I'm itching to get fishing again after watching you fish. Please don't take this offensively - the sounds on this vid were a tad annoying - too much "rubbing" sounds which spoiled the viewing. Perhaps that was the GoPro?
Sorry cant really help the noise with a chest gopro and thick winter coats. These are always rough and ready shoots as the important part is my fishing rather than rigging up with my expensive senheisser mics
Wow, Jonny, you sound sooo excited!!
Cheers Dean. Just nice to get out and know there's a few fish in front of me! :-)
Well done Jon great video. 👍👍

Another superb video which I will no doubt watch again and again.

Great video to watch as always Jon, good catch on the day from your lake.
Thanks Ron 👍
That was awesome!! Loved the tactics, who’d have thought sobbing in Feb?! Keep them coming.
Yep, just shows what a bit of extra clear water and high pressure can do to the fish
Great vid Jon.. now got my dad watching you as he sadly cannot venture out on the bank anymore.. his words were “ is this John Wilson’s son”…. I rest my case.. thanks Jon for making him smile 👊🏻
Ha ha, I definitely do a few things I owe John Wilson for. Happy watching :-)
That looked like fun, well done Jon.
Cheers John great day
always enjoy your videos, thankyou for bringing them to us.
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video as usual thanks
Thanks again!
Great job Jon, some serious weights at that venue. Must go try it with the new pole
Have fun!
Looks like you had a brilliant session
Always a good chance of a days sport at Decoy
Nice days fishing John, gret venue decoy 😁
Yep cracking place
Carp soup 😆😆😆
PS effwunny isn’t a word.
The Carp Whisperer 😁
Cheers daft lad 👍🍺🍌
effwunny is a word now ha ha
Really feel like getting my pole out this summer
Do it!
Well fished John your a machine 🎣
All in the edit 🤣

Agree Feb can be a great month and 10 times better than a cold January. Just need a few days of warmer weather
Well fished Jon. Incredible weights across the fishery considering its January.
Yep it shows what a bit of settled weather can do
What a great match,sorry you didn't get a good draw on Sunday, would have liked you to have been in the frame, hope you can get it next year 🎣👍
Next time! Sadly there were 5 pegs with no chance, esp with that cold wind. Sheltered pegs all caught on both lakes.
I learn a lot from your videos Jon, just struggle putting it into practice sometimes
I think you will find there are a lot of us in that boat ! 🤣🤣
Cheers Jerry
Its not as easy as I make it look, ha ha 🤣
@@JonArthur I am sure it isn’t 💪
looked like a bit of a mauler sessin hows the arm keep the videos coming Jon .
Thanks still soldiering on!
Awesome, as ever Jon. Was this the winter league final? I would have deer-ly loved you to have won.
Thanks MMF, no it was two weeks before the Final. I had a nice 103lb and 4th in match on Damson the following week then a 3rd on Beastie on the actual Final.

Some good weights there, well done Jon, who needs to go to the gym gave you a good workout.
Thanks for watching
jon where did you get yer shades from please love oakleys
Vision Express, however I think mirrored blue lenses are overrated for fish spotting in the UK.
Hello Jon
Well done on top ten finish, did you get a payout ?
Foul hooked fish always feel heavier and take twice as long to land !
Thanks Jason
Yes got a section envelope. It’s even tougher to net them in such clear water!
Blimey Jon those was some mental weights for the time of year can't believe you done over 113lb and didn't win lol
Yep, great venue
Can I ask? What keep net 4m long do you recommend for carp please, in the matrix line.
Matrix Carp Keepnets - 4m 50cm x 40cm (GLN055)
www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/matrix-carp-keepnets?c=nets-handles
doesn't the sound of carbon running through your hands spook the fish? Maybe not just sound, but vibration goes down the line?
It could maybe but how do you prevent that in a practical way? Some things you just have to accept
what is the size of elasitic? 1.8 hybrid?
12-14. All info is on this link: www.fishmatrix.co.uk/home/product/matrix-slik-elastic?c=pole-elastication
