JON ARTHURS CANAL SECRETS! (Travelling light for canal fishing success)

Catching fish from a canal can be extremely rewarding, but many anglers think it is difficult to do! We visited Leamington AA's water on the the Grand Union Canal at Rowington to get some of Jon Arthur's tips and tricks to catching more fish on canals.

With clips and films ranging from, The Matrix Submerged with Rob Hughes, The Matrix Mission where we challenge our top consultants and the Matrix Mini Masterclass with Jamie Hughes, Mark Pollard Jon Arthur, Jamie Harrison and the rest of the Matrix team. We also bring you the very latest product videos so you can find out more about our new releases. At Matrix we pride ourselves on manufacturing quality fishing tackle for Match anglers, club anglers and pleasure anglers who simply enjoy coarse fishing. Our product and tips videos will give you an insight into how to pick the right rod, pole or reel. Which is the best fishing box for your style of fishing. What line and hooks to use for feeder fishing or pole fishing and what is the best pellet waggler to use to suit the conditions. Our aim at Matrix is for you to catch more fish.

As ever, very enjoyable film.

[@MarkBagger]

Just goes to show ya don't Need to start an outdoor tackle show on the bank to catch fish. Just nets, a seat, rod or pole, few bits and bobs and the essential flask. Great vid from one of my favourite anglers. 👍🏻🎣

[@fishing_amy]

Great video

[@chrisfoster5098]

My neck of the woods and style of fishing there jon really enjoyed this video. Thank you 👏👏

[@ifishmatrix]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alanstroude8219]

[@JonArthur]

Try sloppy brown rolled in liquidised bread! ;-)

[@scottandrewjohnmiddleton8676]

Jon are you changing sponsors to warbatons gonna be swapping your lime green attire for bright orange 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant video again tho I love canals and keeping it simple always works 👍

[@kurtiskrasniuk8723]

thanks for this i really enjoyed learning bout how you fish over the pond, i play a few fishing games that setup exactly how you are in this video, from the bait thing u sling over ur shoulder and the long reelless rods, with floats, i love it, do you ever eat anything u fish for?

[@antrog1895]

Interesting about the goose plop, next time that happens infront of me I’ll be sure to have a gander. 👍🍌

A trick : watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@wilsononyx4750]

@Imran Graham yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself =)

[@catalickconverta6823]

Bird shits often full of seeds so fish will defo eat it same as using worm castings in ground bait when tench fishing they love it haha

[@Robonthemoor]

Yet another great, NO, Fantastic lesson on canal fishing, the camera work, I assume done by you alone? is outstanding. On & off your box I would imagine? Couldn't see where your pole was going behind? maybe a tall roller? or" your net bag in the hedge. Im at home looking after my wife at the moment, bless her, She had a stroke last week, so just out of hospital. So keep em coming ja. Just read the introduction,, Matrix Fishing.

[@ifishmatrix]

The camera work is done by a Matrix Cameraman! The pole was just going into the hedge behind. Hope you enjoy the videos, don't forget to hit subscribe to be notified when our new videos are out!

[@Robonthemoor]

@@ifishmatrix Thoroughly enjoyed the video, thank you. Did it not damage the pole? passing it through the hedge? Ive just started buying Matrix stuff, Because of Jon Aurther, He wouldn't put his name to anything not worthy. Jon is a very highly skilled Angler, and video producer. keep em comming.

[@stevensmith8454]

Missed this on first time round, plenty to learn from this one, now where is that canal rig .

[@sillybait1329]

Hi Jon, I love watching your videos as they seem more in contact with everyday angler's it great to see you on the canal , i haven't fished that stretch for a very long time and used to love going there, i normally fish around long itchington, by two boats or the pounds above Bue lias, and the other stretches around there, the piggeries is a nice quiet stretch above welsh road where there used to be some big perch and Tench , if I'm using punch, slop or otherwise i like to put some minced worm and hemp which seems to draw the bigger bream and roach, id love to hear your opinion on this as some decry it as not a viable method but Gudgeon, roach and Bream seem to home in on this.

[@JonArthur]

If it works for you, that's all you need to know! I know and have fished all those bits you've mentioned. Had a 16lb 8oz carp when I was 12 years old at the Pig Farm, below the double lock, and was in the Angling Times with it! Many fond memories from all of that. Such as shame HS2 is ploughing through some of it!

[@sillybait1329]

@@JonArthur I remember seeing a big carp swimming near the lock's a few people hooked it but never landed it, Two Boats used to be brilliant for Tench till the rebuilt the bridge and towpath, they seemed to just disappear, which was a mystery

[@JonArthur]

@@sillybait1329 Stockton Straight still has tench apparently, although I cannot remember the last time I caught one on the GUC.

[@sillybait1329]

@@JonArthur the last Tench I caught near there was before they ripped out the reed bed opposite two boats, there used to be some near the willows by the back of Stockon Res and occasional ones at Welsh road

[@nealparmenter-pluck3116]

Love the vids. I can see you have protection bungs for both the male and female sections. I was just wondering which you use? I have a MTX3.

[@JonArthur]

A real mixture of bungs. Pole Nose Cones and Pole Doctor do the nose cones. Some old discontinued EVA ones at the other end, although I have the new MTX Section Protectors too now.

[@terryquinn3084]

Brilliant Jon! What budget pole would you recommend for canal fishing (Not a whip)?

[@Aitch1964]

Hi Jon, when part elasticating a top kit, do you measure the elastic or the braid? Would you use the same set up on an adjustabung set up or only on a puller set up? Thanks in advance.

[@leafysfishing]

What would be a good bait to target some of the bigger fish in the canal on the waggler? I'm thinking a loaded waggler on the bottom

[@philiptaylor3568]

I wonder how many do what you do jon,and that's secure your keepnet bottom to the box or bank,I certainly do

[@wesleythomas9047]

One of the 1st things that I learnt on the Oxford canal winter league's, but especially important on the K+A canal , u can't have your net moving about through your short lines! !! ☺

[@robthomas2133]

Yep defo a good tip got taught that as a junior in derby aa matches :) also not to ship your pole accross the tow path unless you want an expensive repair bill :)

[@tonyholdsworth1125]

Been using Dacron tied to elastic for over 50 years was always called a tight twat being a Yorkshire man but I had no problem with it still do it to this day lol .stay safe.

[@JonArthur]

First person I saw doing it was Kim Milsom well over a decade ago.

[@tonyholdsworth1125]

@@JonArthur I’ve been telling my weekly fishing pal Dave Sexton I’ve been message you Jon

[@adzilla1985]

Hi John, was the bread feed prepared in the oven like you showed in one of your videos?

[@JonArthur]

Hi yes, just like my Bread Secrets vid on my own KZbin Channel :-)

[@paulbaxter2964]

Interested to know what the white markings are for on your cupping kit Jon Thanks

[@JonArthur]

Just a useful depth reference, markings at 6in intervals.

[@simonchaddock3694]

What knot do you use jon to connect elastic to braid please

[@royv1894]

Hello Jon,What knot do you use to connect elastic to braid???

[@michaelkennington2267]

hi jon just been fishing and the canal was like a river running would you still use your bread slop or what

[@topfuelteddy]

Never good to be know as a risky swinger Jon.

[@michaelkennington2267]

sorry to trouble you but when you sit on your box do you lean back when you are holding your pole

[@regjenkinson6247]

Do you cut the crusts off before liquidising your bread

[@JonArthur]

No I almost always leave the crusts on. I've seen no evidence that crusts fill the fish up more, so no point in wasting it.

[@ashleybrookes69]

please send me some info on parking for this venue. I am part of the club and live in Stratford but unfortunately none of the bailiff this way have managed to give me an accurate placement of where to park for access. id really;y appreciate John, I have followed along behind you on many spots in our last troublesome year. Ash Brookes

[@ifishmatrix]

We parked on the road by the pub!

[@ashleybrookes69]

@@ifishmatrix cheers, had thought about it but wast sure how to ask them while being closed. much appreciated

[@JonArthur]

The Tom O The Wood is currently still closed and also not sure they allow weekend parking for anglers any more without permission, so anywhere in the village that's safe and not obstructing traffic.

[@tonycurtis5799]

What is the butt protector you are using ?

[@iggie1439]

If its not match fishing why would you use a keep net. Just put the fish straight back into the water. All you do is put the fish into stress for no reason.

[@daniellloyd7557]

Nice video but I don't agree with keep moving 👍
