Great to see you back out on the bank - being a disabled angler, I know how frustrating it is that your health prevents you from fishing. However, your health is more important than anything else - take care John, & speedy recovery. Well done on the section win. 👍🏻🎣

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Paul, thankfully IM a LOT better than I was in that film and the last few days Ive been noticeably better

Hi John, I’ve literally just gone through the exact same thing, first time covid etc, and it really kicked my arse and I’m a fair bit older than you and up until two years ago was a smoker all my life, luckily it seemed to attack my throat and head more than my lungs which I was very grateful for. Loved the new music too lol. Hoping to get my first match back since covid this week, so know what you’re going through hope ya feel better soon bud

[@JonArthur]

Appreciate that GG, yes it's been frightening and shocked me a bit, but I seem to suddenly be improving a lot now and feeling much more positive at the moment. Hope you are doing OK.

[@anthonyflint5725]

Well done Jon.. another great video... shame u got covid.. I had it with no injections. And I had no energy for a month and everytime I got out of bed I had vertigo and felt sick so I know how ya feel .. u done well to get out fishing.. Good thing is u will get better.. cheers again for video

Great result John. I bet you couldn’t wait to get back on the bank. I had my arm knocked off my hand a few years ago (yes, you read that right) and after five months in plaster then another six in a frame, I know how frustrating it can be to be stuck in the house. God help us all when you are fully fit again 🤣

[@JonArthur]

Oh no! That sounds dreadful! Hope you are ok.

[@cliffdutton6730]

@@JonArthur, I was fortunate to be treated by a phenomenal hand surgeon so after effects are minimal. I was not allowed to go back to work due to being signed off so did some local matches just fishing the tip. I had some results under the pseudonym of Samantha and a good friend of mine who had no idea of what was going on became obsessed with meeting her 🤣 Hope your health is continuing to improve my friend 👍

Yep it’s certainly not easy with me being self employed and relying on fishing. Thanks for the support and I wish you good health

[@gavingoldthorp4093]

Blooming heck Jon, can hear how much that covid took it out of you. I was lucky in a sense that when I eventually caught it it was pretty mild (I won't go in to how bad the jab made me instead 🙄) Glad to see you've been well enough to make it back out, and hope your recovery is coming on well.

[@JonArthur]

Glad its just cold symptoms. Wouldn't wish what I had on anyone... but Im doing much much better at the mo with just a lingering cough and having to take everything steady. Glad you liked my fish and section netting!

[@ahzippy]

Well done Jon, that Covid was awful took me 12 weeks to recover properly, take it easy, the fish will be waiting for you. Tight lines take care. See you soon

Thought meat was going to work there jon I fished Thursday at a local venue. Had a couple of fish early on meat so gave me the confidence to keep trying. Had to use maggot around midday but after 2pm they when mad for the meat. Couldn't get a bite on pellets and it slowed my swim down feeding them in which I thought was strange. Thanks for video and don't over do it.

[@JonArthur]

Thanks Paul, needed a few big old fish in the area to get the meat going I think

Nice to see your back fishing Jon. Don't overdo it, covid hangs on like an octopus in a wet room. Keep up the great work, but slowly. I notice the catch rate seemed to be better once the pole shadow was off the water. It may just be it was later in the day.
