blimey, that was hard work john. blinkin pike eh. top vid though, keep em coming, regards mick.

I was in control of opposite bank for most my life until illness tree above you has dozen big chub under it .3/4away across from Bank your on odd tench big bream big perch bit later in year usually full roach

What date was this fished john. Thanks 🙏

Far too early in the year for Oundle Jon , the good thing is there are plenty of small fish about. The winning peg was the one that always wins that section and most matches next to the old town bridge, on our evening matches on the Nene its scary what bonus fish are being caught at 8,50 pm ! Still doing ok lashing the pinkies in over small balls of GB with light rigs though. Good watch thanks.

It would be interesting Jon to know what it cost in bait-travel and pools for say your day on the Nene.

I felt for you mate, especially when the rafts of weed appeared. Been there got the t shirt lol. The Nene always looks fishier than it fishes I think, gone are the days of big nets of Roach from Elton sadly.

Great film jon hard luck mate, best of luck in next one.

Great video Jon, that seemed like a hard match with what looked like very clear still water due to the lack of ripple on the surface. Hopefully you'll do better on the next qualifier mate. Hope you don't mind me asking but what did your cap have written on it what you was wearing in the office

Nice video Jon, working hard as usual

That was hard fishing 🐠

Enjoyed the Video John.

Hi Jon, was that the nene at Northbank nr Whittlesey/peterborough ? If so 1 mile from me . Unlucky with the pike and perch !!

nice jon another great vlog

HI Jon i really like the live match videos,especially the ones on natural venues,a clear bright day doesnt help especially when looking to catch skimmers, full marks for effort though it seems it was a match of what might have been.Thanks for the video,stay safe and keep well.

Rivers this time of year are hard bloody work lol

Glorious looking stretch that , Jon lad❤.. cheers for sharing buddy. C u in oxford soon no doubt .l 🤟🤟🫂🧀🪱🐒

Another great video John keep them coming

Always another day Jon best of luck next time.

You gonna try for the Evesham festival again Jon 👍

Great vid mate nice to be back on the rivers

Well, Jon, you seem to be getting into this fishing lark. Perhaps you should keep going for a bit and see where it takes you... and us... great video as always...

lovely hearing that Cuckoo mate 🙂

Very informative spot on as always good haul john well done 👏

Absolutely fantastic film, really enjoyed it. Just watched one of your thames festivals from a few years ago. Good luck in next match.

Why the foam on your spray bar.

Great video Jon but get back match fishing

Brilliant video Jon, loved it

Great vid as always Jon. Can I ask why you use 0.23 hook length, could you go striaght though with 0.20 mainline? less knots. Also I know its a very active method, as static/hanging hook bait is bad(?) but zig rigs are similar right, just bottom to top not top-bottom, if you catch me..... Take care dude, JB

nice lake, nice wether, but it is so far to check by eyes.

Another, as always, captivating, enjoyable video John. I picked up a few tips from it, although I’ve never fished Bodington, I’m sure it applies to most pellet waggler fishing. Just one question, if you’d be so kind to explain? What’s the idea of using a stronger hook length than your mainliner? I’ve always thought using the same, or slightly lighter was the norm? Cheers🎣

Enjoyed that as much as you did.

Cheers for another entertaining video

Another great video John well done for all your fantastic tutorials

Often wonder if its worthwhile targetting the roach on tough days at places like barston , meadowlands ect, on waggler, ever tried it in a match?, great vid as always👍

Nice one Jon 👍👍

Good video but.dont take this the wrong way Jon.andy findley is the best at it in my eyes.do like your feed back I went makins just before they was spawning actually was starting to go mad spawning I couldn't catch anywhere but in the margins ended up on paste in the margins

Andy findley

I was watching your casting john. You weren't trapping the line on the cast to make the pellet land further than the float to get a natural fall just saying.your good dangler, but felt you should of been trapping the line just before the float hit the water

That pike was crazy but they can get very territorial at this time of year like you said.

got to be worth a roach session on there i bet it holds some monsters,.

Interesting to watch.

Hi jon how do you deal with line twist when playing fish on the clutch....!?!?. Great vlog keep em coming.

Nice video Jon. Beautiful to watch. 30 Minutes, for me is just about the right time.

Big bags of roach coming out at the moment, 50lb on Saturday. 👍

Obviously thought the Waggler was a Roach. Good little session. Shows how the wind can play a big part in the catching of the Carp. What was the Peg number you fished from. It looked like it was in the 60's or low 70's. Cheers Jon.

Never been there but it looks very nice. Excellent bit of tuition John and great to see you on the bank enjoying yourself 😊

lovely fishing

catching carp in matches/pleasure beats the F1 rubbish what commercials are all about now.
