Great video Jon, shows that even experts like yourself can have really hard day's when the temperature drops even on somewhere like making . Always love your videos as you always talk through what is happening not only to yourself but those around you
Chris, all I can say is wow, that really does mean a lot to me! Please say hello if you ever see me on the bank and if there's anything I can do for you in return, just let me know and I will try my best. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year!
We can't get a better view on what hard winter fishing is all about by this top fisherman. You deserve a chocolate John but I doubt if there is any left. 😉
Winter match fishing can be such a kick in the teeth - that second day is how I tend to draw through the winter, so needless to say I've not bothered with it for a bit! Merry Christmas to you and yours Jon, and keep up the great work 👍
Hi David, I'm only just getting through all these messages so I am sorry that I've only just stumbled across your extremely kind gesture! Thanks David, that really means a lot and glad you like the films. Thanks for all the support and hope you have a wonderful Christmas and fabulous New Year!
Hope you,your wife whose name escapes me and Katie have an amazing Christmas and new Yr and may your rewards come in millions more subscribers and many match wins
Hard day's now Jon over here in Suffolk as well, all the water's i fish are frozen over, have a good one mate and see you in the new year, Thank you, 👍👍⛄🎄
Well done for sticking out on second day. Just goes to show no matter your talent if there is no moving fish in front of you 🥶👍 wish John & family and everyone happy times for Christmas 😀
Wow , Jon , what a let down , on your first day .... but you can't win every week , you did well to stick it out in that weather !! . Shoot I would have packed up or not gone ,,, too cold for these old bones !!! , all the best & see you next Yr...
Wow what can you say haha 😂 Jon great idea get someone else to pick your peg lol 😂 m8 i think if there was a peg in the car park you definitely would pick it haha 😂 great video again pal but unlucky once again getting a bad swin so hope you have a great Christmas 🤶 and a New year hope to see you again 👍👏👏👍
What a hard 2 day event. Kept yourself in the hunt on day 1 but as you said any where on the Cabin side of Lake 5 is a no no under such circumstances. Good video as per usual. I was under the impression that Lake 2 is no longer used for matches but only for Pleasure Anglers. We used to fish Phase 1, 2 and 3 over 4 days until this year when we were told that Lake 2 is no longer available. I wish you and your family a Great Christmas and a happy New Year. Cheers
was that pool 2 ?. i have two 2 dayers next yeasr at makins june/october the last one is silvers so thanks for this insight. recognised quite a few names , well done kev williams . lovely bloke. have a chat with kev if your up for joining us jon , more than welcome. herbie
Thanks Irvine, hope you do well. October the carp will be very active but the skimmers will also be well spread. Lake 2 is thankfully going back to a top match lake now, after a year of being a pleasure/speci carp lake.
Shame on about the second day draw but you did great on the first day. Weights festivals over 2 days when it's so peggy just aren't the way to do it but someone will always win I guess.
Ha ha ha winter fishings great ain't it Jon that 2nd day you'd of been better off on the cut you definitely didn't have any luck with the draw did you mate
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out when its minus 1 🥶 quick question Jon, if you have no shows on the pegs next to you , are you allowed to cast into their pegs ? Thanks Jason Happy Xmas to you and your family
Thanks! That all depends on the fishery. Some fisheries say no fishing past the next platform leg, but most sensible fisheries now state halfway to the next angler or no more than halfway across the lake if its double banked. Have a great Chrimbo!
@@JonArthur thanks for replying, I fish at marsh farm -milford in Surrey and they have wire going across the banks stopping you from casting into the next swim ! Very annoying and not a good look.
Great video Jon, shows that even experts like yourself can have really hard day's when the temperature drops even on somewhere like making . Always love your videos as you always talk through what is happening not only to yourself but those around you
Thanks pal 👍
Thanks Jon. Great 2022. All the best for next year.
Chris, all I can say is wow, that really does mean a lot to me! Please say hello if you ever see me on the bank and if there's anything I can do for you in return, just let me know and I will try my best. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year!

Ha ha, Cadburys lorry ordered!

@@JonArthur 65lb of bream from a country park lake on boxing day on the method with corn hook bait.best pressie ever!!!!.
Always hard when it gets cold Jon. Deffo need the deeper water. You stuck at though, many an angler would have headed home early. Good job. 👍
Very true. Winter bingo!
This is what I’ve wanted to see! What to do when it’s fishing hard. Top video as always Jon 👍👍
I think the answer on Day 2 was to wave a white flag ha ha!
Really enjoyed the film jon. Dont worry mate ,we've all had terrible days like that. Keep the films coming.
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant winter vid. Love the music and slo mo too. Relaxing. Cheers jon

Can't win em all! Keeps us coming back!
Jon you need to get your peg drawing as good as your ice drawings!! Don't bother with a lottery ticket at the moment😆
I know, 2022 was possibly the worst Ive drawn!
Unlucky at the drawbag Jon , Grant is a local lad to me and on fire this season .
He sure is!
Wow what can you say haha 😂 Jon great idea get someone else to pick your peg lol 😂 m8 i think if there was a peg in the car park you definitely would pick it haha 😂 great video again pal but unlucky once again getting a bad swin so hope you have a great Christmas 🤶 and a New year hope to see you again 👍👏👏👍

Glad you enjoyed it. Lake 2 is thankfully gone back to a match lake now and a lot of fish moving into there, especially silvers from lake 1
Interesting video Jon lad, just goes to show we can all draw bad pegs. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks for watching! :-)
Hard luck Jon. Thanks for all of this years videos on both channels 👏👏 Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you and your family.
Thanks for the support Terry! Hope you had a great Christmas!
Just joined your channel,love the vlogs
Welcome aboard Philip, hope you've enjoyed the films so far!
Hard match John but if you draw bad peg you know it merry Xmas happy new year been to cold for me at 77 thight !ines
Have a great Christmas!
Jon a very busy angler great to watch
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hope you have a great Xmas too mate Santa's bringing me a new winter suit if I've been a good boy lol
I hope you're not on the naughty list then!
Wow some good roach on day one Jon,shocker day 2
That just about summed it up!
great video
Glad you enjoyed it
"Keep the faith" Northern Soul fan Jon ?? Some cracking roach on day 1 but well done for sticking it out on day 2.
Might be. I always say keep the faith, not sure where I get it from! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@JonArthur I'd love to see you trying the Soul Slide dance Jon. Merry Christmas.
Top video…What elastic did you use
That was No5 slip in that kit
Happy Christmas mate
Same to you Chris!
I see you had a few carp Jon. What advice would you give for trying to avoid them?
Dont draw the carp hotspots! Hard to avoid them once they arrive. I find they like everything the roach and silvers do. I actually hooked 16 on Day 1!
It’s another good show from the Beggin Perch not Carp A.C. 😂
Cheers 🍺🍌👍
Please please please be a 10lb perch! 😂
When you going to do another one on the canal John?
Shame on about the second day draw but you did great on the first day. Weights festivals over 2 days when it's so peggy just aren't the way to do it but someone will always win I guess.
soooooon I hope!
Merry Christmas jon
You too william
Nice fish on day one, what gloves you wearing? Have a great Christmas 👍
I wear cut-down nylon latex gloves and also some white Sealkskinz I was kindly given
unlucky 2nd day Jon, stick with it mate.
Many thanks GG
If you’re not catching on commercials it makes me think I’ve done the right thing not even trying on my club’s natural stillwater venues!
Thankfully its getting a touch milder now! All the best Buck!
Hi John, a nice honest video, now it’s really cold what ratio do you use the F1 Green and Thatchers ?
I really vary it to be honest, probably 1/3 thatchers at the mo, but I also sieve off the bigger bits through a Sensas joker riddle
Hard luck Jon, great video as usual mate, Happy Christmas n New Year to you all, hope you get plenty of Freddos
Happy Freddos!
John i watch your videos regularly and enjoy them, may i ask do you have several top kits and number 3 sections nade up during your matches
Yes I generally have several kits made up. Often two or three for the same swim: heavier, lighter, bigger hook, shallow rig etc
All the best john
Thanks for watching
merry xmas to you jon
You too Christopher
Ha ha ha winter fishings great ain't it Jon that 2nd day you'd of been better off on the cut you definitely didn't have any luck with the draw did you mate
You got that right!
Mad dogs and Englishmen go out when its minus 1 🥶 quick question Jon, if you have no shows on the pegs next to you , are you allowed to cast into their pegs ?

Happy Xmas to you and your family

cant win um all Top Rod
Thanks for watching!
Only the committed (sometimes think we should be) angler endures matches in those conditions 😨😨😨😖
Yep, winter fishermen are a different breed for sure!
I’m sorry but your last days fishing is regular through the cold days for us merry Xmas to you and your family
Ha ha, merry xmas Ray and family!
Match fishing has a nasty habit of biting you in the bum Jon it sounds like you get the same luck as I get.I 👍👍
Ups n downs for sure!
