I was waiting for the sting in the tail, but luckily you didn't get one ! love to see a bit of river match fishing, makes a change from the commercials, cheers.
Hi Jon, another great video and a nice shout out for Dave at the bait box. He is always so helpful and keen to advise anyone about current conditions etc. My experience over the last few weeks fishing the Avon at Evesham and Bidford, is that the bigger fish are not feeding at all until later in the evening despite trying different methods. One method that produces nothing in the day is coming good as soon as the sun dips! Other than that I am sure the fish are moving around a lot due to the number of pike, so I try not to feed a set of swims - I keep roving around with my hookbait hoping to drop onto something. I have to credit you with me trying new methods that I would have never tried, having watched so many of your videos - thank you.
Thanks Jon, always worth a watch. Love the advice being offered about digging out the wasps nest for bait. My experience is best left alone. Went fishing once with a wasp nest in a bait for for bait, by the time I got to use them they had started to hatch. Put the lid back on and left them alone.
Thank you so much for another great video Jon! Watching your videos has definitely improved my approach during matches: changing tactics quickly, creating and feeding multiple lines, changing baits and switching much faster if a line doesn't go well. In addition, you also teach me to be satisfied (despite all efforts) if I only manage to catch small stuff. Looking forward to the next video already. 👍
Great vid as usual. Liking the debrief at the end too. Thanks for taking the time to film edit and upload. PS I had my undercarriage brushed once but that wasn’t Evesham - it was Thailand. 🍺👍🍌
Another great video Jon , I love your natural water films. One valuable thing I learn from watching you is never give up !!! What elastic was you on please
Jon, get yourself back to that peg with a shovel and a bit of quality wasp killer and dig out that wasp nest before someone else does, lol. Wasp grub on the wag across can really sort out any cagey chub. Some of my best chub days have been on wasp grub. But who am I to be advising the master? I’ll keep shtum in future, lol. Another superb video, cheers!
Great vid Jon as usual and you had to put up with a wasp nest someone strimming a broken rod but still done well and liked you said not a million miles away from top weight 👍🎣
Thanks, good sign for the future. I think there are pockets of bigger ones all the way through. Where I was often produced nice big roach up to 1lb out of the blue, and I am sure they are still there.
@@JonArthur I've fished a series of evening matches and as it gets dusky towards dark some proper big roach show themselves ,you wouldn't think they are there and they are not looking at bait ,it looks like they are catching flies off of the surface . Great to watch , but very frustrating lol.
Wasp grubs make a good bait. Having said that, I wouldn't touch that nest. I can, and do handle pain, but a don't invite it. Good job a broken rod is covered by your sponsor. Pretty good result on the day. Bit unpredict able. I mean all venues can act up, but after a short while, a pattern shows itself, but that was playing hard to sus. Regardless of result, that's a gorgeous venue, and lovely weather as well. A cracking day to out. (Except for that blasted strimmer. I had some choice words lined up for him...LOL)
Thanks Jon great video and I think hemp line would’ve been my choice ,great post match analysis think it helps to be self critical it’s the only way to learn ,and make your rigs up while you’re still smarting a bit ,cheers
great vid again john...i admire your workrate and persistence, also your precise feeding of separate spots.. is that a kinda crossover from commercials but used on river..? i also watch clive branson... he kinda sprays the WHOLE river in a chaotic style... tries all the methods... catches 5lb of silvers and loses a 2lb bream and flukes the section..lol... did he beat you on this one..?
I don't think Clive was on this one. Multiple swims stems back from my canal background, feeding different key swims and targeting different fish in different areas. I tried to apply the same thinking to commercials but actually found that wasn't always right, instead starting up new swims as you go, rather than priming from the off.
Looks like snagging the pike and spooking it off was the key to making the peg start producing. Shame the fish took so long to move up. No bonus fish unfortunately. Great watch though. I cannot see what else you could have done, except maybe bread a lot closer as it seems to be where people feed the birds. Good job.
Jon, I know at least 2 regular anglers there cheat. They catch chub and roach from the river teme at Powick before the match starts and keep them alive in the cars ( as you can park behind your peg on the field stretch) last year did it and no doubt this year also. The one works in a tackle shop. Bad for me to say this but its the truth 😔
It makes me smile when you swing in one that is borderline and then always net the one after.
A good matchman trick is to swing the big ones and net the small ones. That fools the anglers either side ha ha
Great match. You fished it well Jon 👍
Thanks 👍
Your a braver man than me sharing the peg with a wasps nest. As always good angling and a great watch.
Thanks colin
Thanks Jon for another great video 📹 i think this is about the 7/8 of your videos I've just watched 1 after the other so Thanks again 👍
Wow, thanks Mark!
Never stop using that drum and bass overlay. 👌👌
👍👍
LOVE IT, when your on the rivers. LOVE IT :-)
Glad you enjoyed it
a pleasure to watch john takes a fair amount of patience fish that size to build a weight.i like the way you alternate baits.
Thanks John
A absolute pleasure again
Thank you
Thanks marine boy
Fair play Jon good result I love fishing hemp n tares for roach
Great isn't it!
Trying to think like a fish is allmost impossible, buy with such aftermatch roundups you can come closer day by day. Thanks and good luck John !
Thanks Aart
Great watch as usual Jon. Appreciate you taking time to film and edit your videos……keep em coming.
Many thanks Andy 👍👍
Come on jon, who bust your rod? Walkee or boater? Cant leave us with a mystery, well done and thanks as usual a cracking video
I was waiting for the sting in the tail, but luckily you didn't get one ! love to see a bit of river match fishing, makes a change from the commercials, cheers.

Yes I think the river is a different animal after 5pm. Lots of people say the chub suddenly arrive down the middle after the matches.

Yep, I will leave the wasps well alone! Not sure they are allowed at Evesham any more anyway
Really interesting and enjoyable Jon. Thanks for sharing your day on the Avon with us.
My pleasure!
Nice one jon 👏
Every peg on the avon looks so nice
Keep the vids coming pal
Thanks, will do!
Nice video John shame no bonus fish turned up. Well done pal. 👍😁
Cheers

Cheers Mike
TY Jon great lesson for NONE river anglers ,,,, wondered why no 6/7 hemp line :)
Cheers Paul. Enough flow and depth this time but only so much I can do 👍
Great vid. Not much more you could've done there really. Love your assessment at the end. Always lessons to be learned for next time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vid as usual. Liking the debrief at the end too. Thanks for taking the time to film edit and upload.
PS I had my undercarriage brushed once but that wasn’t Evesham - it was Thailand. 🍺👍🍌
Hope you checked the brusher's undercarriage before yours was done...
@@JonArthur ha ha! Very clever 😂😂😂
Nevermind Jon section win still good,pretty sure only a matter of time before you draw a flyer.
Another video with great content and info ,stay safe
Thanks 👍
another great video
Thanks Phil
@@JonArthur its a pleasure mate, i learn a lot from your videos
Great stuff as usual.
Thanks again!
I'm enjoying your Avon fishing although I gave up rivers years ago. Good default section win though. Well done.
Thanks 👍
Another great video Jon , I love your natural water films. One valuable thing I learn from watching you is never give up !!! What elastic was you on please
Thanks 👍 Elastic was original No4 Matrix solid or 3-5 Slik
Between wasps and rod snappers i think you did well!
Thanks Hedgehog
Good watch Jon... Don't be too hard on yourself as its tough fishing.
Cheers Darren

Nice one Jon ,the Nene is exactly the same at the moment , very small stamp roach on the seed .

now i know where the River Cherwelle is. Went over it on the M40 this past weekend to a dog show.
Bet that gave you a Buzz. LOL
Nice :-)

You should have dived in that nest and got some grubs to go on the wag for the chub :)
Not 100% sure but I think wasp grubs are banned in these matches
Think they're not allowed and definitely not going to dig them up these days, but be my guest!
Damn - my age is showing
Looks like snagging the pike and spooking it off was the key to making the peg start producing. Shame the fish took so long to move up. No bonus fish unfortunately. Great watch though. I cannot see what else you could have done, except maybe bread a lot closer as it seems to be where people feed the birds. Good job.

A jam sandwich strategically splattered on the guy using the chainsaws head would have taken care of both him and the wasps.
Ha ha, thankfully the strimming stopped
Hello John
Are you insured for the damage?
nice vidio i see you have given up with the convict look
:-)
What kind if bait feeders do you use Jon?
Just standard metal Baitdroppers
with 3 matches a week and all that free food id have thought the population of fish would be huge
It probably is, but 100% doesn't make them easier to catch
at least its not 68.
why?
@@scottessery100 you, obviously, don't watch all Jon's video's...
Absolutely! :-)
@@JonArthur Asked the wife for a 68.
She said "you mean 69?"
No, you blow me and I'll owe you one...
😂

Oh dear, I hope that's not the case and, if so, why has no one reported it?
for the buzzy algorithm
What's with you and your algae rhythms?
Wasp nest and chainsaws😡😡 I would of packed up and gone home, lol
Nah, it's character building!
Broken rod. Unbelievable.
