I took my girlfriends son fishing, on a commercial. And with a bit of help, he nailed it with about 40lb. . He was ecstatic, and I couldn't wish for more, except = It took me five years to eventually catch a carp when I was a kid, cos I needed to grow up & learn. .. the hard way by many mistakes & huge lots of learning.....that 1st carp to me will always be unforgettable. I think the son will never feel the same way 😊
How have I missed this one??? One of the best if not the best, hours fishing on meat!! Loved it, great content!!!!!

Great video Jonny meat fishing seems very rare now. Thanks for sharing really enjoyed it 🌟🌟
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice one Jon 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks 👍
A great hour last hour Jon, I’m still chuckling to myself with your Dickie Carr saying, at least after the shower the rain was eventually dry 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😎 a great video yet again Jon 👍
Hate wet rain! 🤣😂
Good watch Jon and got to say the mouths on the fish looked in great nick .
Thanks hemp head
Great vid Jon an exiting way of catching on a top kit I love to fish that way on my local water though its not stocked with F1S it's all carp and big skimmers down the slope don't use meat alot but will use it a bit more now.🐟🐟
Thanks. Bream and skimmers love meat. If it's deep you'll even catch them shallow on it! 👍
As always Jon your advice is golden!! I will definitely give meat a try, although l fish mainly natural waters!! Thank you for such a good video 🎣🎣🎣
Cheers Terry
looks a fantastic place to fish, im jealous coz we dont have waters like that over here in suffolk, and a nother brilliant video jon and fished it very very well, loooooaaaads of fish, thankyou do more like that please
Is there no commercials in Suffolk at all ?
Thanks 👍
You da man Jon !✌❤ Bob.
Oh yeah baby. I iz da boss! 😂
What a great catch on just some meat and a few micro's. Good and informative way of showing what is possible. Uncomplicated and effective. Certainly picked up a few titbits of info to help improve both presentation and catchrate. Well done Jon. Cheers
Glad it was helpful!
excellent fishing Jon, i remember when club match fishing 20 odd years ago using this precise method (also paste) it caught a lot of fish, great memories which i will put to the test once again in the very near future, when i once again will blow the dust off the pole. thank you.
Good stuff, best of luck!
Great video Jon. Loads of tips for fishing meat. Never fished it properly myself so after this episode I'm going to get out and use my new map meat cutter properly. Cheers fella.
Have fun!
Superb Jon
Thanks Mike
Nice one Jon
Thanks Rob
Word for today Jon quality 👍🍺
Thanks 👍
Thanks for another nice video Jon! Superb quality images btw! Gonna keep your 6" hooklength tip in mind👍 Unfortunately meat is not allowed on my local venue 🙁 Looking forward to your next one!
Thanks JVDM 👍
Great Video again Jon, your like a Rolls Royce, Top Class, and hard to beat, and purring with perfection.
Wow, you sound like Jeremy Clarkson!
Oh yes. sent very well. we are together 👊🏻🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Nice video Jon
Cheers Pedro!
Interesting stuff me and my mate are at tunnell qfor 4 days at the end of May (pleasure fishing)not many venues allow meat now in our area.
Have fun. You’ll love it there!
Bonjour Jon, Merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante. Salutations. Daniel (from France)
Thanks Daniel
Nice one John top angling 🐳🐳🐳🐳🥳
Thanks Paul
Hi. Jon..great instructional video as usual..would love to see more of your matches though..have you any in the pipeline..
Working on it! Only had chance to film a couple lately but not had chance to check the footage.
great video again Jon, must agree with you plumrose is the best meat by far but have not seen any for ages,the others don't seem to have the same texture,many thanks for another quality session very enjoyable as always..many thanks....Mike
Thanks 👍
Great video mate, spoke to some lads from the same fishing club as the guys from the coaching day and the say they had a brilliant time and would highly recommend a Jon Arthur Coaching day!!!!!!
Ice had one and can say he's brilliant and totally transformed my approach to fishing..... Top, top bloke 👍
Top man enjoyed video as always cheers jon
Thanks Bish. It was a really good day!
Cheers Rob
Thanks Michael!! :-)
Really enjoyed this Jon, thanks for all the tips for fishing meat short. Would you ever use meat with hemp or just miro's?
Yes but I've personally not had as much success as some I know who swear by a hemp and meat combo.
Hey Jon, not sure if they still do it but lidl used to sell a tin called bacon grill and it was amazing, and very firm, great on the float or hair rigged for carp
Thanks, tried a few bacon grills inc that one but plumrose luncheon meat has always been best for me.
Great video, and info. Typical angler "just one more before I go"
You got that right! One more fish!
Another great video Jon! Do you think this could work at the start of a match at TBF?
Yes at certain times of the year but I often start on pellets unless I'm certain it's going to be a good meat day.
Nice Video Jon. 👍🏼 I got some tins of that Royal Dane from B&M too. I found it was great meat! 👍🏼 😊 If you compare it to Plumrose, it's exactly the same pork %, so it's the same stuff really. 👍🏼 😊 Quick question Jon: If you was fishing meat on a mainly carp venue (&bagging) , how many tins of meat would you tend to use in a typical 5 hour match? I'm not sure if I'm feeding enough? 🤔
Cheers Andy. For places the Oaks I know you fish, meat fishing for 200lb+, then I'd have 5 or 6 tins on standby and freeze any leftover to bulk out the next match. I often have a tin or two ready and open but won't cube it unless I need to, as it only takes a minute. Often hard to feed more than that, but somewhere as prolific as the Oaks it's certainly possible. Places like Tunnel I think 3 tins is often ample for 5 hrs bagging, unless they're coming up shallow.
@@JonArthur Thank you Jon for that. Much appreciated! Yes, I'm definitely not feeding enough then. I'm Scared of blowing my peg at times with too much bait. Back to B&M then to clean them out of Royal Dane 😉🤣 Keep the videos coming Jon, always learning. And all the best in the qualifiers. 👍🏼
Nice meat hour Jon, this weather has got to settle down soon I would hope. With you the local BM meat is different, staff are blaming Brexit😱😂 Question if I may, what size PTFE have you used to leave room for elastic but to stop tip from bending to much. ATVB keep the uploads coming always informative 👍👏👏
Thanks Dave. My Matrix kits are all pre-bushed with sensible sized PTFEs as they are. 👍
Jon. Brilliant video mate. If the carp were bigger, what would you change? Would you still feed the same, and would you still fish as close in?
Thanks, I'd just beef up the end tackle and elastic a touch and maybe fish 7mm or even 8mm meat. How far out all depends on how it plumbs up.
Hi Jon, love your fishing. My question is would you flavour or dampen your micro’s or do you just use the hard out of the bag. Cheers.
Always dampen the micros. I never feed them dry. Flavouring generally only when feeder fishing on big waters and ones that see a lot of speci anglers or if I want some extra stickiness.
@@JonArthur Thanks for the info, keep the video’s coming. Best of luck for the rest of the season 😀
As a wise old angler once put me in my place Jon = "can't you use a catty anymore? And how many fish do you think that you're gonna attract & hold, by cupping feed into a 6inch radius. It ain't winter where your'e trying to buy a bite!?" .... I was lost for words! I'd won a few matches & thought I was good & had his repect! ..... 😊 . I still have lots to learn though , apparently & obviously ❤ lol
Commercials have taught me far more than I've ever learnt when it comes to feeding, and that knowledge applies to both natural and managed waters. Just wish I could refish so many natural water events with what I now know. Knowing when to feed tight or spray is important too of course.
American watching and I have never seen anything like this. Interesting how different fishing can be in other countries. We have carp here but never seen anything like this. Is this type of fishing pretty common? Do people bowfish for them? That’s generally what people do here that chase carp. I don’t know anyone that fishes them with a rod on a regular basis. Interesting video.
Hey Jon, hope you n family well, I've been trying to find your dobbing rigs on the winter vids, could you tell me how you shot yours, do you put shot below float or still have strung out very light shots? really appreciate your advice, cherrs
Generally very lightly shotted with one or two No12s down the line and the rest under the float, unless I'm 'deep dobbing'
I shot this on dobbing over 5 years ago, but it's still very relevant: kzhead.info/sun/aNmqfs2frWOvh6c/bejne.html
@@JonArthur Thanks for that👍
Any chance that you can zoom in more on your float? . can't see it... great video content as usual
For a guess I reckon it goes under 😂
If you are willing to hold a 3rd camera for me that would be great :-)
You mention skimmers feeding shallow Jon, many, many years ago I got a decent bream on floating bread in a very deep quarry pit.
Yes the textbooks say they're a bottom feeder. We now know different!
Thanks- just a comment, i chose your clip as i wanted to see how to put them on the hook..i could not see this on your clip as your camera did not pick it up. over than that a good video.
No problem 👍
I agree, if you want to catch fish today you need exact metric cubing, the old fish are imperial and you won't catch then on 6 mm cubes, I would suggest 5/16 cubes for the older fish.
We always used to use 1/4in cubes back in the day. Not sure if that's 6mm, 7mm or 8mm in metric! 😀
Jon what are the benefits of using a 'top kit' ove a 7-8ft rod and reel? A rod and reel would make it easier to play a larger fish and would allow for the same control over the presentation as a 'top kit would..
I cannot see how a rod could ever out fish a top kit at close range, unless it was a big open water and all the fish were monsters. I think a pole should beat a rod fishing up to 14/16m out on a stillwater 99 times out of 100.
Like video,hello my friends
Thanks for the visit
Jon have you tried bacon grill.I find it a better texture and less fat and slightly heavier.
Yes i have some and sometimes mix a bit in, but generally prefer normal luncheon meat
Use them Matrix clickers boss ! Maybe we should change the match times to early evening, the. Again we’d all be divorced ha ha🤣😂
Glad I’ve got 12 fingers
with you talking to the camera, and rattling about, do you think it makes a difference Jon? Or would the result be the same?
I'm sure I'd catch more at times with the cameras off, but it also helps stop me getting too distracted!
At what point would you start feeding micros again?
All depends on how it's fishing. Micros is an essential attractor for me, but they can get preoccupied with them so I try to mostly feed meat.
6ft - in your dreams 😀 #shortarse Higgledey piggeldey is this a word? PS great vid 👍🍌
Ok, 5ft 12in 😀
Good video John, but not a match so why do you want to use a keepnet. 👍🐟🏴🇬🇧
You are allowed keepnets when pleasure fishing at Tunnel Barn and most anglers use them there for much longer than the hour I fished without any detriment.
@@JonArthur Thanks for replying John, always watch your videos. 👍🐟🏴🇬🇧
No worries glad you enjoy the vids
Jon ,,do fish meat over depth
An inch or so to begin with then work from there
Was it just me that noticed that you repeated the beginning where you potted in the micros and the meat. Once when it wasn’t raining and again when it was.
Yes I’m pretty sure I explained that I just started all over again as I had a heavy rain interval!
@@JonArthur sorry Jon must have missed that. Love all your videos.
If you weren't born & lived through the 1970's & eighties fishing, you missed out! ....it was a time when match anglers came up with secret stuff, to get one over their mates and take home the cash! 😨. For example = where do you think the idea of "swim feeders" came from, before companies made them & snatched your money?? ... Some guy saw his Mum's plastic hair curlers and invented the swim feeder! .... I don't necessarily agree with him sneaking about in his Mum's bedroom tho 😨 x
"Him" or do you mean yourself ha ha
Does one really have to look like a pear drop to be successful at this ? 😂
Eh?
Sorry Jon I do like your videos, just a blonde moment I guess 👍
