So sorry to hear about your illness, this community supports and admires your dedication to the craft and thank you for even mustering the effort to produce these vlogs! I sincerely hope you can get yourself well enough to get to a maver or fish o qualifier! Your day is coming soon! All the best 😊
Great to see you back out on the bank - being a disabled angler, I know how frustrating it is that your health prevents you from fishing. However, your health is more important than anything else - take care John, & speedy recovery. Well done on the section win. 👍🏻🎣
Nice to see you in the bank John John as always you’re my favourite fisherman. You’ve done a lot for me personally from me watching your videos. You reactivated my childhood fishing. I’ve got you to thank for that . hope you feel better soon buddy take care 😊
Hi John, I have not had Covid yet, and touch wood listening to you coughing, I don't want it !!! Thanks for the video, hope the family are o.k. take your time getting back to it. Tight lines.
Very busy fishing a great video. What made me think Jon, I'm 73 and got covid not long ago and not a good walker so just standing was difficult . Hey you are a young man and have suffered bad I realise how lucky I was , breathing not to bad so quick recovery. Let's hope covid leaves you completely soon .
Slick work saving your section with the net Jon! You sound like you've proper been through the mill. Hope you have a speedy recovery. I'm watching from bed.... With covid 🤦. Just manifesting as cold symptoms for me fortunately.
Great vlog as always plus a section win so well done for that..but had a call from a friend only yesterday to say she had COVID and it's knocked it off her legs so pat on your back from me for you for doing so well in the match while struggling and feeling so unwell 👍
Hi Jon so sorry to hear you have had Covid poor you. The fishing was great even though you felt awful. It was great to see you got a section win well done. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.😇
Well done Jon.. another great video... shame u got covid.. I had it with no injections. And I had no energy for a month and everytime I got out of bed I had vertigo and felt sick so I know how ya feel .. u done well to get out fishing.. Good thing is u will get better.. cheers again for video
Well done Jon! Like you I been recovering from COVID and I know how it really sets you back. Take it easy. I really enjoy the content you post both here and on your members channel 🎣🎣
@@JonArthur Hi Jon, did you have any particular preference for using white maggots instead of red maggots that the majority use at TBF? Regards Richard
Hi John, I’ve literally just gone through the exact same thing, first time covid etc, and it really kicked my arse and I’m a fair bit older than you and up until two years ago was a smoker all my life, luckily it seemed to attack my throat and head more than my lungs which I was very grateful for. Loved the new music too lol. Hoping to get my first match back since covid this week, so know what you’re going through hope ya feel better soon bud
Appreciate that GG, yes it's been frightening and shocked me a bit, but I seem to suddenly be improving a lot now and feeling much more positive at the moment. Hope you are doing OK.
hi jon nice to see you back on the bank and catching a few m8 hope you recover fully soon love the match vids keep up the good work, cant wait for the next one tight lines m8
Well done Jon, that Covid was awful took me 12 weeks to recover properly, take it easy, the fish will be waiting for you. Tight lines take care. See you soon
Great to see you back out and about,take it easy mate,not like a normal flu it will take a while till you back to normal so take care,it is brill to see you though🎣😁
Great result John. I bet you couldn’t wait to get back on the bank. I had my arm knocked off my hand a few years ago (yes, you read that right) and after five months in plaster then another six in a frame, I know how frustrating it can be to be stuck in the house. God help us all when you are fully fit again 🤣
@@JonArthur, I was fortunate to be treated by a phenomenal hand surgeon so after effects are minimal. I was not allowed to go back to work due to being signed off so did some local matches just fishing the tip. I had some results under the pseudonym of Samantha and a good friend of mine who had no idea of what was going on became obsessed with meeting her 🤣 Hope your health is continuing to improve my friend 👍
Nice to see your back fishing Jon. Don't overdo it, covid hangs on like an octopus in a wet room. Keep up the great work, but slowly. I notice the catch rate seemed to be better once the pole shadow was off the water. It may just be it was later in the day.
Hope you feeling better soon John, atleast you won your section ,I have been struggling with that my breathing ok one day then feeling like shite ,I'm a builder and 63 its shite mate hopefully you recover soon 🙏😁
Great to see you back. Don't know how you manage to drop the rig in between the nets. If that where me I'd spend hours trying to get the hook out of em 😂
Thought meat was going to work there jon I fished Thursday at a local venue. Had a couple of fish early on meat so gave me the confidence to keep trying. Had to use maggot around midday but after 2pm they when mad for the meat. Couldn't get a bite on pellets and it slowed my swim down feeding them in which I thought was strange. Thanks for video and don't over do it.
I'll try and give you some additional support later in the year. 6 kids and grandkids have been so demanding this year. Most importantly, get well, Jonny!!
Blooming heck Jon, can hear how much that covid took it out of you. I was lucky in a sense that when I eventually caught it it was pretty mild (I won't go in to how bad the jab made me instead 🙄) Glad to see you've been well enough to make it back out, and hope your recovery is coming on well.
Glad its just cold symptoms. Wouldn't wish what I had on anyone... but Im doing much much better at the mo with just a lingering cough and having to take everything steady. Glad you liked my fish and section netting!
Great video Jon, glad to see your recovering well done on the section win Question being a pole fisherman do you ever use a whip what do you think of them i have a 4 5 6 meter elasticated whips have not used them yet cant get out
Yes but only for fish up to around 6oz tops and if big bonus fish are a realistic possibility I avoid them. Search 'Jon Arthur Whip Fishing' and you'll see me on the Thames fishing 5m.
Fantastic result Jon considering you're just recovering from covid. Also great footage to Jon i just know how you were feeling am just recovering from pneumonia myself it absolutely knocks the stuffing out of you and was just know how you felt after the match also brain fog as well anyway take care see you on the bank next time tight lines 🎣🎣🎣👍👍
Yes I definitely flagged three hours in! Feeling much better at the mo than I was then, so fingers crossed I will be back to full fitness asap. Best of luck with your health too!
Thanks Tony, I've really took my time getting right and it's paying off as the last few days I've been really good, just a cough and no brain fog, so I'm positive mood and will still take it easy but feel I'm well on the mend now. Phew!
@@JonArthur I know what you mean i caught it a few times now and each time i get it it seems to be worse then the last time i had it really does knock you for 6 glad your on the mend now mate
Great video Jon and great section win sorry to hear that covid made you soo poorly and hope your on the mend soon I had it 3 week ago but think I got off lightly I had to work through it and I'm a welder fabricator so it left me knackered for a bit lol
Good to see you back on the bank Jon the best medicine there is fishing and fresh air tight lines

Great to see you back. Don't know how you manage to drop the rig in between the nets. If that where me I'd spend hours trying to get the hook out of em 😂
I try and pin my nets each side so there is a gap for pot filling
I was thinking exactly the same.
Great effort under the circumstances Jon. Hope you get well soon pal 👋🤞
Thanks Terry, slowly getting there

Well done!! Take it easy mate, glad you've been sensible
Thanks for the support Dean
