Hard Luck Jon, I think you fished it well considering you didn't feel well. Thank you for the superb videos you given us all year, it's always a pleasure to sit back with a cuppa and watch you fish
Hi Jon I am fishing qualifier match 5 of march 2022 at Larford Lakes all being well as i am awaitng operation on spine in my neck watching your videos has gave me a goal to aim for as the last three years have be hell so many thanks to you i am feeling much better and hope i can get through always look forward to more videos so from me and my wife thank you
Hi Jon have you qualified, as I said I am booked for the 5th march golden rod feeder Larford and have just received news from my surgeon that my operation will be done in the next 4 weeks so goods news for me as I will be fit enough for the match Have been watching videos on Lardford and very excited going to put my heart and sole in. I am not new to feeder fishing and fished in many matches in the south of England 30 years ago and before spine problem practiced hard so now I am on a mission if i do manage to get through I will give you all credit as watching you and the way you fish has in stilled me may be will meet up some day you are a credit to angling Thank you
Very best of luck with the operation and recovery and maybe see you at Larford if I'm on that one. All the very best on your return. Never give up at Larford as that last hour can be decisive!
Thanks for all the great content throughout the year Jon. Hope you're back to 100% very soon and that 2022 brings all you hope for yourself and those you hold dear.
Well done JON, thanks very much for what you have done for angling if it wasn't for you some people like myself would never ever see the Venus match fishing or pleasure tight lines Happy New year too Your self & your family.
Well done John 👏 I know you didn't qualify but I've got to say you make fishing look so easy doesn't matter what method you use.You explain everything very clear and I've never met u but you seem just a nice bloke ,good luck in all your big qualifiers next Yr and hope you feel a bit better soon 👍 cheers.
great match Jon its always a better match when weights are below 100lb everyone still feels they are in with a chance, Merry Christmas to you and family🐟🐟🐟
Great match Jon,. Just not your day bud Enjoy the rest of the Christmas period have a Happy prosperous healthy New Year, take care, stay safe, regards to the ladies and keep it lit 👍 my friend
Hi Jon, started watching your videos about a week ago, absolutely hooked on them, my wife thinks were having an affair because i cant stop watching them lol. I always loved watching Bob Nudd but your videos are brilliant. Carry on the good work, think youve done wonders to bring all kinds of fishing back to life again. And a thoroughly nice bloke with it.
Great video again Jon, you cannot win em all. Next time in the cold try some hot chocolate in your flask, keeps you warm through the day. Last of all, c, mon guys give this great angler some more likes and subscribe he’s helping us with all his great tips and advice.
Love a hot chocolate so maybe that’s the tipple soon. The tomato soup might get an outing or two this winter as well! Thanks for all your support as well. I get a lot of people watching RUclips via their TVs now which I don’t think has a Like facility, but I think I get a very good percentage compared to other channels and all my vids have a 98%+ approval rating which I’m more than happy with. So I must be doing something half right. I think the main thing that separates me from a few others is that I actually enjoy doing it! Once again thanks for being such a loyal fan and see you in 2022! 🎉
Great video Jon. May I ask; while many anglers say do not reel in while the clutch slips (while reeling in) you do this (to great effect) constantly. Back to my question, do you have any problems with you line by doing this. Once again great video.
I've always used clutch and backwind and tend to set it soft and tighten up during the fight. Line spin can certainly be an issue at times, so just be careful. I've always felt I've got a good 'feel' of a fish when it lunges etc, while some people just pull and wind constantly. I probably should tighten my clutch more, but it's an old habit and seems to work ok for me.
Hi Jon great video as ever. Quick question I noticed on your side tray you had more than tub of pellets. Did these pellets just have different flavours added or were they just past being used and the other tubs were freshly made pellets??
I had two lots of micros. One was wetted the night before which makes them softer and spongey and one done in the morning that tend to be stickier. Depends what I want them to do in the feeder.
I only tend to clip up beyond 25m if big carp are the target. Shorter than that and the bites are too savage. At 25m+ you get a lot of stretch in the line and bend in the rod to give you time to unclip if necessary. But I also had my distance sticks set up to get back to the correct range afterwards.
Stop trying to kid your viewers Jon 😨! ... you looked rough after the day before on Xmas drink buddy, and I saw bites on the video that you should have struck into, but missed 😨😨 !! .... I remember the good old days in the 1970's & 80's when the match draw was always at a pub, & the landlord always opened the bar at 6am in the morning! .... Those on drink never made the pay-out! ... Nor did you 😨? ... 😂. Only man banter jokin & much love to you & family at Xmas 😉 ❤
Jon... you make people like me watch your fishing vids while at christmas with family🤣🤣 the face my wife makes!

Welcome to the channel. That's so nice of you to say Gordon! Have a great new year.
On the washed out Pink I catch an aweful lot of Bream at our local club lake Carp seem to enjoy the GO2 Catalyst Wafters
Nice one Barbara. Thanks for watching.
Great video again Jon, you cannot win em all. Next time in the cold try some hot chocolate in your flask, keeps you warm through the day.

Hope your feeling better jon 🤒
Those waiters look good enough to eat 😊👍🏽😂Do you normally start on a yellow then try different colours?
Washed out pink or yellow and tend to try different sizes before trying other colours.
hard luck jon tough this time o year same owd if fish arnt there?
Thanks for watching John. Have a happy new year! 🎉
Hope u soon better Jon 😃
Cheers Ste 👍
Nice to see you back on the bank Jon 👍hopefully you fully recover from your illnesses 🙏 get back on the bank and take their money 💰
Thanks Richard. Thanks for supporting my channel. Have a great 2022!
Jon what tip rod did you use
Matrix Horizon Pro 10ft Feeder 👍 lovely rod
If your clipped up and get a big carp run off won’t it’ snap off when it hits the clip?
I only tend to clip up beyond 25m if big carp are the target. Shorter than that and the bites are too savage. At 25m+ you get a lot of stretch in the line and bend in the rod to give you time to unclip if necessary. But I also had my distance sticks set up to get back to the correct range afterwards.
One too many slices of cake? 😅
To much whipping the cream 😅😂
Rum cake 🍹🍰
Why doesn’t anyone shout all in any more?
Some matches are more organised than others… 🤐

Only man banter jokin & much love to you & family at Xmas 😉 ❤
You are one of a kind… thankfully! 🤣
Jon the deep voice makes it sound like a porn channel………joking aside brilliant videos and look forward to seeing content in 2022.
Shhh, don’t reveal my secret voiceover job! 🤣
