I am new to Jon's videos, but loving them. A genuine and likeable guy, he seems supremely skilful and refreshingly down to earth. Feels like you're on the bank with a top friend. Good to see you can even catch a few with recycled bait!!

I often count down from 10 then back up to 10. Then 10 and a bit!

Really enjoy your natural venue videos Jon, Getting out before the crack of sparrows for a short session before the world wakes up and back in time for a fry up is far better than laying in bed.

Great angling again Jon can't remember getting up that early for fishing these days I'm getting a bit lazy but some nice fish there. Went out yesterday for the first time sinse the lift to avoid the crowd's so looking forward to it but would you believe it they just started spowning that morning and the last thing on there mind was feeding and so not the best day as previously to that nets of 200lb+ of Carp + 60 to 80lb of Skimmers we're caught tippical!! But managed to wangle a few out in hard conditions. The main thing is getting out on the bank can't wait to when they have finished. Bet you can't wait to see your daughter catching her first fish that will be special. Thank's for the vid again Jon you and family stay safe.

Hi Jon another nice short session. The Oxford seems to be very different to the GUC as I always have coloured water and more depth and no zander but lots of crays! I catch plenty of slabs on lobworm and even little skimmers the same size as the worm on quite robust rigs, it's odd how they don't mind taking big baits on big hooks, not usual skimmer tactics I know but it works on my stretch. I guess that's the puzzle of fishing. Bill

IMO, perch are one of the most intelligent coarse fish, they are just easy to catch, the smaller ones anyway, because they are brazen opportunists, like crows, or those people who try and sell you SKY tv in the town centre.

The bigger ones certainly don't like getting caught again

This stretch of canal: Banbury and District licences will be available from tackle shops, Castaway in Banbury or Ace Tackle, Kidlington, early June hopefully or contact information on the CRT web site.

X sport in Beaumont leys is open if your interested, loads of tackle and bait in a big warehouse tackle shop

Came here from a suggestion. U.K freshwater is mad finesse! Cant even walk past the water without spooking a fish! Crazy Telescope things? Wtf? Always strange to see the world's tactics.

Hi Jon, have you tried the pole feeder if so how do you plumb the depth. ?

@JonArthur

Yes I love fishing that when conditions are right. It's won me a bit of money on rivers. Theres no plumbing involved, just try the length of the rig to the depth of the swim.

NO keep nets...……..has it changed? cant wait for the rivers to open.

as a fisherman myslef i was told you cannot fish on canels or rivers in the close season like between march 16th to june the 16th and we are in may.. am i corrrect or have i been lied to

@JonArthur

The majority of canals haven't had a close season for many many years. However, rivers are still subject to the traditional March 15th to June 15th shutdown AND this also includes just a handful of canals that are directly connected to a river. Check the Environment Agency website for more details.
