Thanks Trev 👍

[@shaneskinner8278]

Love all your videos Jon. Well shot as always and as usual very informative. Hard luck at fish o I sat behind you all match and was impressed with attention to detail on every bit of your fishing. Deserved more but I think the wind and rain played its part. Hope to see you in next years final 🤞

[@JonArthur]

Thanks so much for the support! I will try a bit harder next time!

Hard luck jon, lovely days fishing. Better luck next time.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks 👍

[@davidmitchard1330]

Hello Jon, i don't think i would of sat on my box with a carbon pole in my hands, thanks for sharing with the info on the rigs etc, not very good weather for the Fisho Mania all a learning curve Jon, right peg you'll get there in the end I'm sure.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks. Day before and after I am sure it would have been totally different, but too much turbulence in my shallow peg on the day 👍

[@michaelgray1351]

Your very brave sitting there with a carbon pole and lightning about 😱

[@JonArthur]

Yep, agree! I actually never saw a flash until I watched the footage back!

[@davidhodgson1385]

Great video as always John 🎣

[@JonArthur]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tonychandler8606]

Good video. Weather just doesn't get any better

[@JonArthur]

You got that right!

[@Bazzerboy1959]

Great effort, wow I wouldn’t have sat around with that lighting around. Carbon and lighting are best of buddies but not in my hands..😂😂

[@JonArthur]

My thoughts exactly

[@BagUpTV]

Thunder buddy’s for life 😮

[@JonArthur]

Thundercats! Hoooooo!

Glad you enjoyed it

Hey mate, when you have a big match or festival on venues you don't go to often,what's best way to practice?do you go match times or just fish each method for hour or so? I've been doing well recently couple of 2nds and slow close to first overall and I'm going all out to do well in Lindholme festival Gary is running on 15th where casters will be used as well as no lash length and can overshot is allowed,I really want to make most of couple days practice next week and week after but I'm unsure of how to make the most of those days,thanks as always 👍🎣🎣

[@JonArthur]

Just putting together a Westwood practice session. Practicing is an awkward thing as its easy to run away with things and think you have things nailed. Key for me is familiarising yourself with rigs depth and feeding but not to have a fixed plan. Practice everything you feel will be needed to win, but dont just catch catch catch. Try all the things you wouldn't try in a match. I want to rule things out as much as anything. But they key for me is just to just get your kit and rigs bang on so your straight off the starting blocks. I see so many just sit there and empty it on one method and they've learnt nothing. I will even fish two or three pegs in a day, just to familiarise myself with diff parts of a lake.

[@MARCLEEMATCHFISHING]

@@JonArthur thanks Jon, I'll be trying few methods and plan to get all shalla rigs right then re tying up some for the festival and try bomb pellet and wag whilst primeing shalla line, been watching your fisho qualifier and have set up a couple of 12 to 14 shalla kits as well as 10 to 12,I'll drop you a note of how it goes, thanks mate appreciate your time answering us all 🎣🎣🎣👍

[@simon27101]

Well done for not throwing him in Jon… keep the snowflakes happy! 😉

[@jeffchandler7662]

Nice bit of cumulonimbus there Jon Run away !!!!!

[@JonArthur]

Absolutely! Runnn for coverrr!

[@jamesatkinsfishing]

Very good Jon Thank you,

[@JonArthur]

Thanks for watching

[@davetaylor8858]

Do you use a clicker to guesstimate the weight in each keepnet ?

[@JonArthur]

Only if I have to! I hate clicking so I often just guess 40lb and start another net if it's a 60lb limit

[@alandavies3727]

Hello Jon did you enjoy Fishomania? Or did you get frustrated that you wasn’t in a good enough peg to be able to compete.

[@JonArthur]

The peg definitely would have been good enough if conditions weren't so poor, but they clearly wanted calmer water on the day and I had none of that!

[@ianhalliwell1368]

Any chance of seeing you getting through to fisho on hear pls

[@stuartbridges1942]

It's a members only video M8

[@asktheefathe]

Hi Jon I was at fisho watching u just think did not get best peg weather was rubbish what is best shot fine hard to keep on line

[@JonArthur]

New Matrix shot is excellent. I use cube-type shot for quick fine-tuning. But you must use flat head pliers or styl pincers NOT your teeth!

[@asktheefathe]
