Bread Secrets (Bake It & Catch!) 

Hi Jon another really great video. As a skint teenager i used to slow bake whole slices in my mum's Aga and pulverise them with a rolling pin! My section on the GUC is always heavily coloured and bread works better than any other bait most days. I produced a video using the short pole, top 3, and had a 4lb plus fish second put in and loads of good skimmers on a 7mm punch, i think, and really sloppy crumb, got a lot of views,40,00 plus. Of course not being a 'known' match angler a lot of people missed the video! Kindest regards Bill

That was an enjoyable watch - just shows how simple it can be. What also came over was that even now you still enjoy catching a few Roach out the cut. (back to your roots). well done Jon.

Excellent video Jon, thank you. Hope you cleaned that kitchen up afterwards.

I am absolute chempion with bread-feeder fishing 23 CHUB'S 7,143 kg!!! Thank you thank you thank you for bread-feeder lessons.

Another excellent video John, just done a batch in the oven let it cool down and pushed it through a flour sieve with the back of a wooden spoon no waste whatsoever, I'll put it to the test over the weekend, cheers John keep safe.

another top quality video Jon 50years on and im still learning

Well done on your short session Jon and great video and tip on baking bread crumbs, I have never seen or thought of doing that before, keep the great videos coming

awsome Jon, great bag of fish and as always super quality video,many thanks

Superb Jon , I also do exactly the same , have done for years , to some batches I add aniseed or fenugreek in powder form , all work a treat , thanks Jon ….👍🏻

great video john . really taking bread to the highest level . so clever

Yes Jon, love my bread fishing. Definitely giving that a go 👍🏻

Jon , you must watch Ian Heaps Bread fishing. He was an awesome fisherman and a natural calm presenter . He has good advice on bread groundbait about 12 minutes in and all his videos are worth a watch . Without the tech and gear he seemed more in tune somehow . Good tips , thanks .

Great video John, timely as well. Just prepping for tomorrow bread feed I did about 10yrs ago and been in air tight tubs since.

Superb. Definitely will be baking bread so I can store it up. 😊😊😊

It was my job in the mid sixties to grind my dads g bait fo his w end match fishing all the old stale bread went in the warming oven at the side of the fire it used to go a lovely golden colour on the Saturday I used to grind it all up ,he did a lot of. bream fishing on the witham , welland gt Ouse ,I ground approx a stone 14lb of. dried bread ,I got 2 Bob for it 10 pence, once got my thumb caught in mincer dad called me a silly bugger so just got on with it .it made lovely ground bait .he used to ball it in underarm 3/4 across the river no catapult no feeders swing tip expert arlsey bomb home bred Anatto maggots squatts in g bait bream loved it .thanks Jon great vid

Very interesting Jon.Glad to see im not the only one who shakes the blender when liquidising bread. Showed the girlfriend who does fish and her comment was simply " he is like you,not right in the head" Enjoyed the video as usual Jon please keep them coming.

I bought 25 kg of white bread crumb last season, nightmare to mix even using griddle so gave up , baked it like you said and it literally transformed it to a light fluffy texture, great tip mate , brilliant

That version of Nigela literally gave me the creeps: nightmarestuff for sure!!! Otherwise another great vid with plenty of tips!

Great video Jon, definitely going to give this a go 👍🏻

This is excellent content Jon. Quite a unique way of approaching bait preparation. Thank you. And really no reason to wash the roasting dish!

Brilliant video Jonny will definitely be giving the baked bread crumbs a go 🍞

Excellent video and tip. No bread goes to waste at our house now. Had some good catches on it, well better than shop bought punch crumb.

Top video Jon you make it look 👀 so easy 👍please keep them coming 👍

thank you for France, for sharing and for all these explanations. see you soon take care of yourself! A++

Nice one Jon enjoyed that, will give that bread tip a go !! say hello to Mick for me

Excellent informative video, nigella frightened the life out of me, convinced you could catch fish in afresh puddle

Thank you for sharing, Jon! Lets make some....Cheers.

Great job again mate! One of my favorite approach 👍👍👍👍

Great vid yet again, definitely going to have a go at doing some crum in the oven , cheers Jon.

Thanks for the advice, I am a French fisherman, I am trying a bread recipe to fish with a method. I will test the sandwich bread in the oven.if I make a video on the subject, I will be happy to reference your channel and your idea during my video. Thierry

Thoroughly enjoyed that Jon good video

Not many anglers would do that Jon very impressed mate nice one good net too

Love the video, really pleased I fished with Jon and not Nigella last year

I am a game angler. All fishing is good for the soul!

Great fishing I know the area you fish and it was always hard about 10 years ago when I was a kid. I need to get back fishing the canal

Oh god, I got a tingle downstairs there at the start Jon. Is that wrong? 😂😂😂

Something different Jon, very interesting I've always wondered what the top bread anglers used, easy to make I'll give it a go next week as I'm shielding. Keep well and keep um coming 😂 😂

Great!!! Thanks for your tutorial!!! Wish you Victories !!!

Great video keep them coming and keep safe

Thought you had a bib and brace on for a start till I realised it was the camera . Didn't realise it got that messy 😊, Appreciate the tips Jon thanks .

Tried this today down at my local, brilliant! Caught steady for most of the day whilst those on mags/groundbait struggled... 5mm punch 3 inch off bottom was best on the day! Really surprised how much I had to feed to keep the bites coming too! Need to make another batch now 😂

Excellent

Great video Jon

This is superb .. love your vidz .. superb .. 👍👍👍👍❤️👏👏👏👏

Very very similar to what i do. Anybread I have left over, I put it in a baking tray with the light/sun having a bash of its Wordly gifts on it. Fill the tray up...stick them in a bag... and continue, the bag goes in my spare room and just does what ever spare room magic does. ( by the way, this is weekly). Anyway... when the time arrives... the bags come out as long as they are over 3 months gone. I then spend a shit load of time with two coffee grinders giving it hell...regarding the oven baking. I use this when I've perhaps a lot of bread in my possession. and not quite stale.. so i rip it apart, give it some hell and put t on the lowest shelf on the lowest heat whilst I'm Netflixing...switch oven off... get up, get ready for work and just check bread.... spend a minute or two seeing whats what and putting it in trays and leaving it out for the suns rays getting to it.......once again it goes into the coffee grinder and I get dust out of it 999% of the time. Sieve it... pot it in 25kg barrels and that is the GB I use at all times... whatever the venue. Most of the time its River fishing..in fact it's nearly all...but....you can't beat...making your own bread crumb... it's just fun and very so pleasing. I can't emphasise anymore than what Jon has said...it's your bread...you know whats in it ...you can read the ingredients from the packaging as what is in it...I prefer the saltiest breads going, salt is a must in my opinion in winter. especially in cheese paste....I'll shut up now.

Great tip going to try this 👍

Looks good I'll have to try it next time am on the bank , stay safe 👍

Awsome John

Second video I've seen from you great video mate. Just scribed.

Hi Jon I have a question for you for your next q & a video , when would you use a pencil float over a all round float when pole fishing

Great video thanks. On the blender sharpen up blades with file 👍🏼

What with you and your bread recipe and Joe Cass with his cheese paste recipe. Why don’t the pair of you open an anglers cafe somewhere? Lol. Another great vid Jon. I look forward to these more than anything on the telly. Cheers buddy! 👌👍

Bet your missus loves you jon when that blenders going off at 6.30am on a sunday morning closely followed by the smoke alarm when your burning the crumbs 🤣🤣🤣 another brilliant video tho mate👍

Not trying to Butter you up John But another fantastic informative clip. I will be Spreading to all my friends . Thanks again 👍

i add a packet of digestive biscuits to my crumb in the summer, theres an oil slick that comes from the biscuits (fat from the butter maybe) but that added to the supreme pulling power of bread turns the swim into a bubbling cauldron! great vid mate 👍👍

Nigella auther 😂. Great video John. Lots great tips on such a cheap versitile bait.

Very creepy animation Jon, but a crackin' video non the less. I will have to give the baked bread a go, thanks Jon brill vid as usual.

The reason this does not bind is that baking takes out the gluten in the bread.This is how we used to make "proper" bread paste years ago.If you get your baked slices and put them in some muslin or cotton cloth and soak the bread.Then if you start to squeeze out the water,after a bit you will get cracking proper bread paste.However it is soft and thats how to roach like it and tench etc.We caught stacks on this back in the day.

Lockdown - can drive you a bit mental, eh? But looking at that intro, you're doing fine, John. No, really, you're fine ... 😜

Make/cut the bread into croutons and bake first, then grind in the blender. Could even flavor the mix like a crouton before baking as well.

Great video although didn't feel like a normal Jon Arthur video at first but then he got a hand full of the bread and stuck it to his pants :) keep up the good work Jon and stay safe 👍

Enjoyed that Nigella...I mean Jon. Nice to see you used the conventional oven and not the Micro-Wav-Ay

I like you leave the crusts on as well and don’t waste anything,by the way changed the F to a capital to help with your O C D, well done buddy another good video 👍

I will have to experiment and see if it still works on liquidised bread from the freezer.

Nice humour jon

Really enjoyed that Jon some cracking roach in those conditions well done

Better way to do it Jon is to cut the bread into one inch squares. Then place in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until all the moisture is out of the bread and it’s crispy to the touch. Then put it into the blender for a minute and you will have perfect breadcrumbs and no lumps.

👍 nice one

My dad makes the same sort of thing but just puts the slices in the oven at 50 for about 5 hours then puts it in the food processor until its super fine.

Hi Jon, great video, thanks. I also grew up fishing the canals in Rugby and know what you mean about the colour. Home for me was Hillmorton, how about you?

Thanks for a great video, I've watched a few of your videos. Because I'm new to fishing 🎣 and I have only been once Because of the virus.

Absolutely brilliant video John.Must admit don't do punched bread fishing over liquidised bread for roach( used punched bread for carp)at all but really enjoyed that vid and loved how the bread worked in your tests.Just wondering how it would work mixing it up with other gtoundbaits to catch big skimmers/F1s etc ,or would it pull in to many small roach etc which you wouldn't want when match fishing in commercials.Thanks for the tip.cheers.

Hi Jon again a really informative video, but what are the marks on your cupping kit, are they depth markers?

Thanks Jon often wondered the best way of using bread will definitely try your method oh the Nigela trick was great yeh she’s hot,hot,hot 🤣🤣keep safe 👍

The reason the white bread sticks together is that it's not cooked properly, bread The's days the way they bake bread is not the same as when we were kids 30+ years ago. If you mix beadfeed from the tackle shop, it's like glue after a few minutes.

Another great vid..I've making my own groundbait using basically the same method as you did.. Do you think adding powdered milk might help it cloud a bit more?

Hi Jon, great video, could you use the slop and maggots on the hook, fishing a commercial? Cheers

Hi, would you mix the bread with anything to fish on Deep Canals like the Stainforth Canal at Thorne, or would you just add gravel

Hello. You now I'll try your bread on canal, and I catch 11.300 kg fish I won 1 cap coffie and 1 cacke. Thank You !!!

Hello Jon, enjoyed the video. A canal related question rather than on bread. Uder what circumstances on a canal (where a pole can reach any area) would you use a waggler in preference.

You are a great angler John could you recommend a seatbox for a heavy man cheers stay lucky

Great video, what would you say is the deepest water this could be used in? Have a couple of local still waters that are up to 20ft, would expect this to break down long before hitting the bottom

Great video Jon - just one question - how do you store the crumb once its prepared if you aren't taking it straight to the bank?

Great videos Jon. In the days before Warburton's would we have used Mothers Pride?

Love the videos! What series GoPro or which cameras do you use? Great quality.

The intro to this video is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen😂

This looks like the french sensas stuff 👍🏻

Hi, thanks for your video. Total beginner to course fishing so wondering if there would be any advantage to adding any additives to this mix or is it good enough as is ? Thanks for any thoughts. Cheers Bob

Are Jon’s buns 😱👏👏

When I read the title, I thought you were going to show us how to bake bread from scratch Jon.

did this John brill

I get the same effect by blizting it in a blender and then put it in the air cupboard for a week.

Do you think it's worth trying putting a bit of black bait dye in the crumb on those tricky winter days Jon?

Interesting that it doesn’t bind... I often use panko which is also a toasted bread crumb and it binds quite well...

Hi Jon great vid could this be used on an open end feeder?

Lol great video mate, what next talking carp? Top one thanks

good stuff john ,i much prefer nigella tho lol

How will Polly make any money now John? Just as a footnote, I`ve found that bread only goes mouldy if it`s kept in the bag, so what I do is tear it up and put it in a bucket on top of the bait fridge. It dries out rock hard, then when the bucket`s full I toast it in the oven like you in 2 or 3 trays and coffee grind it. I often get a kilo bag full out of a bucket of scraps using less electricity. We`ll put Sensas out of business at this rate...............

Wife looked over my shoulder and thought l was watching a cooking programme

The biggest benefit has to be that it doesn't fill the fish up like liquidised bread does.
