Hi Jon a great result in horrible conditions. I’m sure your baby will need some of that money! Hope you do well in the final. Best wishes to you and your family in the new year. Bill
Well fished in pretty poor conditions JA. Your always willing to try and make things happen and explain in simple terms why you make the changes. We are lucky to have a quality angler that's more than willing to show the good days and the bad. Not only do you have to concentrate on the match but also on trying to get good content for your channel. Hope Matrix realise what a quality and highly appreciated angler they now have and the amount of content that your putting out. Hope this is a fantastic year for you. A two pound perch and a Freddie ... My idea of heaven haha.
Great posts Jon. Thanx for tips and advice, great to watch the way you fish. Makes an average angler like me want to improve and try harder. More posts when you get time. Once again top vids thanks...
Brilliant vlog Jon, well done for qualifying, great match in very windy and cold conditions, thanks for sharing your up beat energy even when most anglers give up, top class, tight lines
Love the video John and well done , I live and work in asia now so don't get home much but I used to enjoy fishing decoy and for some reason it all ways comes alive after 2.00 pm happy new year to you and the guys
Great match Jon ! I even felt like a warm tea myself watching you fish in such conditions. Crazy last half hour : real quaility time. Hope to see many more of your brilliant footage in 2019 ! By the way : happy new year !
Hope to see a few more videos next year Jon, always enjoy watching them. Would it be possible to go through the setup in future? Thanks and all the best in the final.
I'm still in the process of watching your upload but I just heard you say no Bomb's! Well if it's a Feeder only match then Feeders it is! Good luck.. . . . 👍
Well fished, I enjoy watching your videos as you are always looking ahead at how to catch the next fish ie not afraid to change tactics. Oh do you not like wearing finger less mitts to help keep your hands warm?
I had two different pairs with me but I just find them too restricting and make things even worse once wet. Latex surgical gloves are another option with the fingers snipped off.
Two things, Jon. 1 great casting, straight in to the little yellow circle every time. 2 was the rod rest deliberately like that to hold rod in the wind? Really enjoyed your videos in 2018. Keep em coming! Cheers
Cheers. Yes I was going to turn it 45 degrees but it seemed to lock it in place nicely. Normally use a more conventional feeder rest but thought I’d try that one on the day.
Hand warmers in your pocket Jonny, I swear by em at this time of year, makes-all the difference.£10 for 5 pairs from amazon, give em ago pal. ATB and good to see you fishing with matrix
I try and get my hands acclimatised to the cold rather than too warm, else you are constantly going from warm and dry to cold and wet. If I was only after a handful of bites then pocket warmers would’ve been a nice option.
Wow , bloody super Jon . well done mate .
Hi Jon a great result in horrible conditions. I’m sure your baby will need some of that money! Hope you do well in the final. Best wishes to you and your family in the new year. Bill

Nice one, not fished beastie yet but hopefully this year

I'm still cold thinking about that day!

Not such a bad landing net , in and out more than most , well done .
Another great video Jon, I see you play fish off the drag do you suffer any problems with line twist?
No it's never been a problem to be honest

Alright John well done mate also do you have any spare tickets for decoy now you have qualified?
Kind regards
Steve
No sorry I only bought that one. I just enter them one at a time unless it's a venue I know will sell out.
Well done in getting to final do you always use a double handle reel for feeder fishing
I prefer double handles
Hand warmers in your pocket Jonny, I swear by em at this time of year, makes-all the difference.£10 for 5 pairs from amazon, give em ago pal. ATB and good to see you fishing with matrix

What a grafter!
Thanks Neil
grim conditions.... my days of soldiering on in that are long gone.... well done tho....
Character building!
Punishing fishing jon you looked so cold us fishermen put ourselves through tourcher
Crazy hobby isn't it!
Had to laugh at half rations - I do that! Turn ya back on a full cup and its clap cold.
Great video I am new to fishing why don’t you use fingerless gloves?
They get caught up in hooks and make your hands even colder once wet, plus the thicker neoprene ones are too bulky for me.
Live or dead maggots for f1 winter fishing 👍
Generally prefer lives, but deads if feeding groundbait. Both have their day.
Poor Katie nicking her Fredo's
Yum!
I told you before, get some fingerless mitts.
