Great video Jon it gives you a good insight on how to tackle a bad peg Keep the videos coming

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Robert

[@sillybait1329]

Unlucky Jon, a nice honest video which highlights the good and bad of match fishing nothing more annoying than going through all the baits and methods and not catching but if they ain't there you can't catch them, tight lines Jon and fingers crossed you get a better draw next round 🤞🤞👍👍👍

[@JonArthur]

Many thanks MH

[@roberthynes8248]

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Robert

[@seatboxboy]

Nice to see you sharing the hats with katie

[@JonArthur]

She loves daddy's hats! :-)

[@seatboxboy]

@@JonArthur feel free to share a few this way .lol

[@grahamnash9794]

Again I've been knocked bandy by the super cute Katie. A proper heart stealer. I noticed you mention the tip trembling, that was the vibrations from my shivering. These winter fishing videos always make me feel cold. Good effort though Jon. You did what you thought was right. But it seems to me that match fishing is more an educated guess approach rather than a set rule of thumb. Yet we can watch specei hunters ( main carp orientated) tend to stick with the same style most of the time. Not retracting from any well established skill set, it;s just my observations. Can't wiat for the next posting. Thanx Jon.

[@JonArthur]

I prefer days when plan A works!

[@grahamnash9794]

@@JonArthur Now I'm learning. Obviously some planning come into play, like selecting the right baits for time of year and venue ect. But I had no idea that any other planning came into it. Never having fished a match in my life, renders me clueless. Having seen the like of you, Jamie Harrison, Jamie Hughes plus several others, I'm not likely to be brave enough to even attempt it. But I do love watching tho.

[@johnkiddle379]

Love the vids, no rubbish music, good honest commentary. We have all been there at one time or another, sometimes your drawing hand loses the magic. I think you made the most of it though, cant think of anything I would have tried different to your approach. Keep up the good work and tight lines.

[@JonArthur]

Many thanks JK :-)

[@stephenedley4486]

Love your videos have you ever fished Messingham Sands in Messingham prolific weights caught in matches

[@JonArthur]

Yes! Really nice venue and I've shot several features there with various anglers too. Lovely big roach in South lake and I've fished Oak Tree and Swan in Fisho qualifiers, but never seen the lakes off site, which I hear great things about. Just a bit too far for me to get to now :-(

[@incawill]

Good honest fisherman

[@andykirk26]

Great video Jon. Looked a hard day but good to see how you handle the tough days. You are die hard going out in winter, how do you cope with cold hands? Temps picked up this week, so can't wait to get out & practice with my spanking new MTX3😁😁👍🏽🙋🏼‍♂️

[@JonArthur]

Not had cold hands most the winter, but if it’s going to be cold and wet I rub vaseline thoroughly into my hands and swear by it. Best of luck with the MTX! 👍👍👍

[@chrisslater6681]

Great video Jon, it's weird how maggots on the pole gets small silvers but maggots in the maggot feeder gets decent f1s

[@JonArthur]

Agreed!

[@johnfrench9608]

Jon I am a pleasure angler and was wondering what the xxxx is an F1 I thought it was a racing car?

[@JonArthur]

F1 means 'first generation hybrid' and could be plants or animals but in fishing terms it's usually a crucian/common carp hybrid. Although there are now ghost F1s, mirror F1s and even F2s, just to make things confusing!

[@azertyy3978]

Hi Jon, could you do a video about plumbing the depth sometime? :) I fish on a pond with a lot of depth difference, a lot of silt on the bottom i never know where to fish. I also have a question about your pole, do you use anything on the joints to reduce wear and tear? Love your videos keep them coming! :)

[@JonArthur]

Thanks azertyy, maybe I'll cover plumbing another time. I don't use anything on my joints but PTFE sprays have been ok in the past.

[@johncowan5924]

Jon , sorry I don't match fish , only fish trout pike perch and the odd mackerel bash . Could you please tell me what a F1 is cheers

[@JonArthur]

It's a first generation hybrid, usually a crucian carp and common carp hybrid that are very popular on commercial fisheries as they feed well throughout the year and don't outgrow the lake too quickly.

[@regjenkinson6247]

Cant believe u didnt try one of those shrimps on the method!

[@JonArthur]

Too nice for eating ha ha!

[@paulturner7198]

Enjoyed that Jon, sometimes, it's a lot more informative watching how a good angler tackles a bad peg, keep it up mate, excellent videos.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Paul

[@matchfishinguk6986]

Would you not think the liners are fish between where your fishing and your rod?

[@JonArthur]

Yes of course and I think that first liner was a big fish probably within 3m of my hook bait judging by the ‘bite’...

[@caiusmartius]

Can't win them all Jon. Thanks for the upload.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks CM

[@stephenjlewis1976]

Anyone ever told you you have a very distinctive looking cast?!

[@JonArthur]

Nope, but I know I have ha ha :-)

[@patcarroll5896]

Hard day at the office Jon. Can't believe you snaffled your little girls sweets. Heartless man 😂

[@JonArthur]

Ha ha, she gets spoiled enough :-)

[@grahamgfm]

You had a good day on a difficult peg. Why worry...… :-)

[@antrog1895]

Obviously I rarely watch more than 5 minutes, I’ve usually nodded off, but made it to 8:23 - quality video Jon 😂🍌

[@JonArthur]

Cheers Ant. Hate bananas really and only eat them for superfans like yourself! So did you miss the bananas at 16:00 and 23:45? 🤣🍌🍌🍌

[@antrog1895]

Getting me some prawn n banana sweets can’t think why Iv never bought any. Top tip there, cheers 🥂

[@wilsonsully3578]

Unlucky Jon, you can but try!

[@JonArthur]

I certainly tried. Perhaps too much! :-(

[@Margerisonmatchfishing]

Today our channel has received several abusive comments all mentioning your channel as an example of how to make a fishing video. We at Margerison match fishing enjoy your videos and have never said anything negative about your channel Our channel is a small thing made by some brothers just for fun . I hope if you know who is targeting us, and the channel "Fish with Bish" that you will take steps to stop this abuse.

[@JonArthur]

Sorry to hear that. I’ve just hopped to your channel and can’t see any negative comments on your last two vids or any mention of mine but there are definitely one or two serial trolls out there. My advice is to ignore the 1%, even though it’s hard not to. They could be non anglers, non match anglers, kids, people with mental issues, trouble makers, jealous people, people with axes to grind or just plain haters. Don’t give them a voice and don’t let it get to you!

[@Margerisonmatchfishing]

@@JonArthur Cheers Jon i know i shouldnt let them get to me i deleted and blocked them
