Live Match Fishing: Boddington Reservoir, AT & CRT Classic Qualifier

[@grahamnash9794]

Great angling. Putting that aside, it's a real joy when you include Katie in your videos. I've had 4 sons. {all grown up now}, and as a result there's a huge soft spot for little girls deep within me. I've a gorgeous granddaughter, but I seldom see her. So it's a proper treat when you share a little of your sweet Katie.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Graham. I know exactly what you mean and hear it so much from other anlglers. She's my catch of a lifetime! :-)

[@JeffOrtega33]

Great fishing Jon and top class video again 👍

[@michaeljustice4806]

I'm back on KZbin watching your great videos one's again I I also saw your right up in a fishing magazine very recently nice one well done on another great match result

[@delwigzieful]

great video john love your style of fishing nice one mate ALIEN

[@robboxify]

Great vid Jon, i used to work at british waterways and fished this place and clattercote quite a bit in the early 2000s as we got free permits. Back then it was largely method feeder and 18 carp would have got you about 60 odd pounds! the fish were a lot smaller, 3s and 4s mainly but hectic fishing. Actually i preferred clattercote as you also could get big bags of decent tench just off the trees in the margins if the carp were on an off day. Might have to venture back down soon

[@JonArthur]

The'yre even bigger than Boddington's on average in Clattercote now!

[@gordonhitchen353]

another great video, hard work coach

[@johnmccormack1154]

[@steveames8286]

[@davidkirby1843]

cracking video as usual

[@davidbigwood9509]

Always good to watch, keep it up!

[@mickrumford2164]

great vid jonnny. could you do a short vid on your set up? would be interesting to see your pellet wag set up for venues like boddingtons. do you use a light reel line and shock leader etc

[@JonArthur]

One rod has 6lb line. Lighter rod has 5lb with a short 8lb leader just to keep the float stops from moving. I’m going to do some more instructional vids soon, so watch this space.

[@neilwatt5497]

Hello John. I use floats at times exactly the same as you were using, my old man brought a job lot off of a angler at Drayton Reservoir so if you are after any don't hesitate to contact me. Boddington and Drayton Reservoir fish pull like nothing I've ever experienced before and yes you definitely need a bait runner as the bites are as you put it Savage! Well fished! 👍

[@gabrielbarbu6802]

Hello. Nice video. What distance are you fishing with the method?

[@JonArthur]

On that venue in summer, from 25m to 70m. In winter 60-100m.

[@gavinjames2057]

Hi John? I was wondering where you get the dumpy floats you get all the dodgy looks from are from? Could see the use for them but can’t find them anywhere if you could help? Thank

[@JonArthur]

Sadly I don't think they're made any more by anyone

[@cloud4344]

Ian everett on Facebook makes some of the pellet wags you was using

[@JonArthur]

I discovered mine were made by Dave Smalley who is making them once again. He's on Facebook.

[@incawill]

Do you have a licence for them white pins ? On a serious note great vid thanks

[@JonArthur]

Reminds me to get some milk on the way home! 😂

[@incawill]

😂🥛

[@shoaibahmed1105]

Well done, where can I get this numpty waggler?

[@JonArthur]

Look for Dave Smalley on Facebook and mention this vid as he has just started making them again.

[@vdavis8766]

Where can I buy the little white blobby floats 👍

[@JonArthur]

Caspers at Pablo RWC Floats: www.pablorwc.co.uk

[@bigli1961]

hi jon where do you see these match advertised please

[@JonArthur]

[@neilolly]

Just looked as if you had fishnet tights on when unhooking the fish 🤭

[@montyconger178]

Well both matches yesterday 22 nd June, one match won with one carp and no one I believe in the smaller match of 18 caught anything.

[@JonArthur]

Yes the carp were all spawning I heard.

[@fishingmadmolly7822]

Winning match weight at boddington was 850 pounds in 5 hours

[@richard2589]

i am surprised that anybody catches on a commercial water after watching a few vids on here after the amount of bait that goes in during a match

[@seatboxboy]

Your going to to go broke if you have to pay the med bills for all the hearts you sweet Katie will break in the future.your a very fortunate man.Am sure you know that every time she smiles.

[@JonArthur]

She's a little dynamo! :-)

[@pmay222]

your summary...just shows you can be a top matchman like youself...but if you are not on em.... you not winning... i do prefer your river/silver fish matches... they might be smaller but its proper
