[@JonArthur]

Thanks GG 👍👍

Yes, I still never think I'll get a bite until that tip whacks round!

[@deanmills9161]

Omg that was megga. Got my heart racing just watching it from my bedroom because I know what a thrill that is👍🎣

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Dean :-)

[@johnbloor4376]

Absolutely brilliant to see the kid in you still. It doesn’t get much better than that does it Jon? I’m an OAP now but I still get that buzz I used to get when I was a nipper whenever I fish a river for chub. Your an inspiration. Thank you.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks John. So many places to fish and things I'd like to do!

[@The1vanillaman]

Super Jon,what a cracking chub,well worth a few bleep,bleep,bleeps,many thanks as always.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks vanilla man

[@andykirk26]

Brilliant Jon. Loved seeing your excitement when you hooked into that! I forget how good river fishing is. Not done it for while. 👍🏽

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@buckrichard7690]

As many others have said already, it’s so good to see that total enthusiasm for catching a fish in a natural setting from a top match angler. It’s a great reminder as to what fishing is really all about. Another great video, please keep them coming. Oh, and Happy New Year.

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Didn't fancey swimming then jon 🤣🤣🤣 what a lovely venue and a cracking chubb👍

Needs to be a degree or two warmer...

Cheers Jon. Keeping me sane in lockdown.

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@easyfishing1936]

Hi Jon, yes very different to matchfishing but as the beeps prove just as exciting! What is great to see is the top anglers getting out and chasing fish on smaller waters with simple tackle, tactics and bait. Joe and Rob have ben getting some great results on the upper reaches of their local rivers and i hope you do some more of this type of video's, if only to show there is more to fishing than the long pole and pellets! Personaly i am still to ill to fish, but enjoy watching others fish the methods i love, kindest regards Bill

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Bill, yes Joe and Rob do a good job too. Help you're better soon.

[@HOOKEDFishingChannel]

Nice 1 Jon, can't beat a bit of chub fishing, small amount of tackle, ultra mobile, quick session, well done.👍

[@JonArthur]

You got that right!

[@denniscooper6148]

If you are pushed for things to occupy you during lock down, a short video on how you tie bands and bayonet fittings might fill your time! Excellent content as usual. Hope you and your family keep well.

Well done Jon, lovely fish, and worth the triathlon to get there

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Sav

[@peterthornton8520]

Fantastic Jon. What a great looking fish. We have the river Wandle in South London which fishes similar and also throws up suprises like you fish. Brilliant. Happy New Year.

[@JonArthur]

Sounds great! So many untapped chub venues out there!

[@clivedavies3]

Great when you hook chub like that the bigger ones dont move it feels like you've hooked the bottom then they slowly start to move then they go into fighting mode keeping them out of obstructions then becomes the game until you get them to the net. Liked the bleeped out bigs it tells of your excitement. Love your videos keeping us entertained and showing us your methods.

[@JonArthur]

Many thanks Clive

[@gloriajakeman1763]

simple magical pleasure john. bit of bleeping though, didn:t think you swore lol.

[@JonArthur]

Ha ha, I bet even the Queen swears. She would if she hooked chub! :-)

Funnily enough, I've been trying to find some new stretches and was just thinking about bringing the bike into play!

[@stephenpyner4156]

Lovely chub Jon well done

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Stephen

[@squidstoe1994]

I had a chub on a lure few week back and it coughed up a right load of berries so now i always target bushes with them on

[@JonArthur]

Yes definitely food for thought. We have several berry bushes in the garden and you can see why the fish would be under them with the birds knocking them off, and they're definitely falling off more at the moment.

[@davep6286]

Amazing Jon. Bit of wild fishing 🙈😂 that a lovely Chub, definitely hit n hold needed with them about. Looking forward to part 2 now 👍👏👏 Happy new year to you and the family, may 2021 be a good one 👍

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave

[@paulvankleet]

I remember, Jon, when fishing for chub using a hair rig was considered 'wrong'. It didn't stop me catching them! Times change!

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed the vid. With bread especially I think hair-rigging has so many more advantages compared to squeezing some flake around a big gaff. 👍

[@batcho99]

What a clonker 👏 I bet you'll be back there soon 😁 Great job, and as others have commented, love the enthusiasm. Wish my "fishing buddies" were as enthusiastic and actually got out of their arm chairs now and again. I need to show them this video 👍 Thanks again.

[@JonArthur]

Must admit it takes a bit of effort when it's -1 degrees, but all worth it when you hook one! :-)

[@mikecribdon152]

Cracking fish Jon. I'm luckly enough to have a few 'secret stretches' within cycling distance, albeit with some brutal hills!

[@JonArthur]

Nice one! Thankfully hills aren't a problem, but me being a bit unfit is ha ha!

[@davebrody9315]

Brilliant Angling

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Dave

[@oldbloke135]

It's funny that the hair rig has come from specimen angling, into match angling and then back into this "wild" fishing using match style terminal rigs and bait.

[@JonArthur]

The hair rig must account for 90% of big fish captures these days 👍

[@stevedavies75]

Brilliant 😃

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Steve

[@antonybanks9865]

Is there no end to your talents!!!!

[@JonArthur]

Always nice to try different things :-)

[@stuartbromley5328]

,cracking chub if you go again and it's coloured and up make some cheese paste blue cheese and bread crumb we use it upper trent were I live it stinks but it's very effective in flood conditions

[@JonArthur]

Yes definitely!

[@philbench7622]

I'm an ex-canal match angler freak, and won a few or two (incl Angling Times Leagues)..... I was gutted when commercials took over, and 50 peggers became a highlight match, instead of a half decent section in a canal match.... Geez, times have changed! Matrix now do some decent bread punches, instead of Jon & I having to snap car aerials off in the 1980's & making our own 😉 lol ❤

[@JonArthur]

I never snapped car aerials off as a kid... we were too busy collecting VW badges, ha ha! #scallywags

[@mabalsaritchie]

Nothing better to warm you up.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Alan

[@antrog1895]

Triathlon is cycle run and SWIM. So get yerself in daft lad 😆😆😆 Cracking vid as usual. Interesting about the berries. 🍌

[@JonArthur]

Speedos packed for the next session! 😆

[@philbench7622]

I know that you were (or are) fairly local to where I grew up (65 years ago 😊) at Cubbington, near Leamington . I dunno how local you live now? But, cos I'm not local anymore, here's a couple of my "secret places" for chub. I used to be into serious canal match team fishing, which was lovely, but sometimes left me gagging for a bend in the rod after a gruelling 5hr gudgeon bashing match on bloodworm on the Oxford canal (eg. Mark Downes beat me with 18lb +, and knew exactly how many gudgeon to the letter, that he was about to weigh in.... That did my head in 😂). So, I needed a few blow out chill sessions, away from any angler. And what better than my local river Leam near Offchurch, where I caught my 1st ever fish? = a minnow on a size 16 hook , with a tiny bit of bread impaled on the point, like a rolled up nasal bogie 😊. .... I never had a Dad or anyone who was an angler, so I learned the hard way = making mistakes & being peed off lol. Anyway = from Offchurch Bridge down to Ford Farm. The river looks tiny to begin with, but it meanders loads with fast shallows & deep slow moving bends. Walk it. The best swims/pegs scream out..... There's ginormous chub & roach there. Totally unexpected. I had 3 chub over 5lb (5lb 6oz was the best) in one session + other chub &roach, and I'm not even a decent specialist angler 😊 The Leam at the "White Bridge" in Offchurch Bury is another chill-out Chub beast place..... Another venue that no-one bothers with because of easy F1's near to the car park & burger van 😂 ❤

[@JonArthur]

A friend of mine still fishes the Leam at Offchurch. Used to catch monster chub there on slugs. I used to live in Southam so I've driven over it hundreds of times but never fished there myself. I gather it's sadly a shadow of what it used to be and very overgrown and silted up in places. It's not a river I've ever felt the urge to fish, unlike a few other nice stretches I know of, but I have a LAA book so maybe one day I'll pay it a visit... not with bogey paste though! :-)

[@philbench7622]

I'm saddened to hear about the decline Jon.... I noticed that the river size & flow had significantly reduced the last time I saw it. With growing towns, villages, industry etc in the Leamington & Rugby area, the large reservoir at Draycot is now providing far, far more water to towns etc than it was ever designed to do...... and Draycot isn't a catchment reservoir = it's filled by pumping water from The River Leam into it, via a pumping station at Ethorpe. If you see the modest size of the Leam at Ethorpe , compared to the colossal size of Draycot reservoir, it's nothing short of f**kin ridiculous . Plus a shameful " under the carpet secret" by the E.A. & water authorities 😉

[@tomashkoziol]

Im going out soon, just cuppa and straight to my club!

Good luck TT

[@daveewens6578]

I'm not quite sure why you are getting dislikes. Great result with simplicity :)

[@JonArthur]

Always more bothered about the 99% than dwelling on anyone else 👍

[@grahamnash9794]

Dirty great gob on that fish. You could lose Andy Kinder in it....LOL (No offence Andy, you're a mighty angler really). Don't know about you Jon, but I think your new sport would suond a bit more catchy if you call it " Bike, hike and pike". What do you reckon?

[@JonArthur]

Ha ha, not sure about the pike bit! :-)

[@williamjustice5340]

Great vid again Jon when fishing popped up with bread, does the bread natural pop up itself regards

[@JonArthur]

If in doubt, always check it first in a bait tub of water or down the edge before casting out. The size and weight of hook plays a big part, plus how much you compress the bread. If you compress it a lot it will definitely sink. Uncompressed it will float. On a fast flowing river like this, even floating bread will be pushed down by the action of the flow, so it's not so much of a concern for me on fast rivers.

[@richardbawcombe8036]

Hello Jon, do you reckon the hair rig bread cylinder thing would work for reasonably chunky roach?

[@JonArthur]

Yes it can do for big roach, but for specifically targeting roach I've had more success putting a single 6-8mm disc of bread punch directly on the hook, using a fine quivertip and striking at any rattle. Had a good day before Xmas doing exactly this when all I was getting on hair-rigged discs was roach rattles.

[@richardbawcombe8036]

@@JonArthur ‘striking at any rattle’ has been a great success. I always left those in the hope of a more positive bite developing. I caught way more roach than usual, I hit about 70% of them. Brilliant advice, thanks 🙏

[@davidshvangiradze]

hi Jon, just wondering, what stretch is this? I live pretty close to you, and have been looking for some local waters for chub and roach foa while

[@JonArthur]

This is the ideal time to have a good look on Google Maps for potential waters. The countless hours I've spent researching and visiting different venues all over the place really pays off and is so rewarding when you hit on somewhere, so I wouldn't want to fast-track anyone. Happy exploring. 👍
