River Thames Festival 2021: DAY THREE 

I'm going to have to go and have a lie down after watching that. Knackered me just watching you put the feed in!

Good effort Jon, and good move to use the bread

Finally at home from work and ready to sit down and watch my favourite RU-vidr 😁😁😁

Shot gun next year for those pike, oh and a decent drawing arm. Seriously Jon, three great videos, and days proper fishing. Throughly enjoyable watch as always.

A bit trying at times. But we always go home all the happier for being there. Thoroughly enjoyable trio of videos. TTFN.

That looked bloody hard work mate but goes to show how good you are

Just sitting down to watch day 3good luck

Another great 👍video shame about size of Roach, better luck next year. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟

Enjoyed watching these 3 video’s Jon, glad you didn’t suffer with the pike on the last day! Must make the heart beat a little quicker when one strikes so close to your net! 😂 Thanks and keep them coming 👍🎣

Really enjoy watching your videos Jon. Very entertaining and thanks for taking the trouble to share your matches with us. Where I live in the London/Kent borders carp fishing dwarfs everything so it's very refreshing to watch your videos.

Another classic pal, be nice to see you back on a canal match soon with the cameras pal hopefully 👍👌😀😉👏

Yes , three great videos Jon . Thoroughly enjoyed watching them , thanks 👍

Class as always Jon

Watching from france where I fish my native river Seine . Similar , Bit deeper bit quicker possibly bigger fish generally ( even the bleak are 2oz here!!) but I saw some excellent things to try when they decide to slow down a bit . Love the way these 3 videos were put together , really informative and interesting viewing, I was compelled to watch the 3 after the first 5minutes of the first . Sincere & sportsmanlike with some interesting fishing and food for thought . You obviously couldn’t have done much more without the drawbag but I for one will be more confident now in ringing the changes having seen these . If it was easy it’d be called catching not fishing and this was a fantastic display of the latter . Ill very much be looking forward to any further river matches ( I don’t do commercials in france ) well done and thank you for sharing John. Best wishes and tight lines , Matt.

Great compilation of vides jon thoroughly enjoyed them thanks appreciated 👍

Always enjoy your videos, brilliant Jon 👍👍

Enjoyed those three Jon, a shame about those pike on day one but at least you were catching some for them to chase which is better than being on no fish!

Think your the younger version of a Mr J Wilson always great viewing on your vids top angler top bloke

Really enjoy watching natural fishing as this is what I was brought upon,don’t know how I would have done if commercial were around in the 80s

Great three videos and, result there John. Bit better luck next time without all the pike, trouble. I thought you would have, a 8m whip line with just loose feed hemp, caster and tares for, some, decent roach. Or they not there.

Thanks again John. I was tired day three too! Liked your use of bread. I bought some but never tried it. A learning point for next year. Still beat all 4 pegs downstream of me in my section but it was tough

Three great videos Jon, u really enjoyed watching your exploits on the river, well done Kelvin a brilliant result

Three really enjoyable videos Jon. Brilliant. Keep em coming ol' lad!

Nice change of tactics Jon, well done!

Great video Jon really enjoyed it 👍

Great insight and another great video, cheers Jon, looking forward to more......

Terrific work rate, well done.

Amazing how you can fish in November in just a T shirt on. Another good one Jon. Glad the pike were not such a nuisance, Would be nice if you could get a bit of luck at the draw! Thank you again for 3 great videos ,I learn a little bit more every day.

Another great video Jon and glad the pike left you alone for this 1 maybe potting n not balling made a difference lol

Well done Jon as you say without the pike on day 1 you probably would have finished in the top 10 but as you said you fished a tidy 3days which is about all you could have done 👍looking forward to more videos 👍

Great video again Jon I don't know much about match fishing but could you of fished for pike is that aloud stay lucky

Should have had some Benny Hill music shipping out Groundbait.. Another good watch as always..

well done Jon i thought you would have done a little better but if you are happy with the result that's good enough for me, cheers mate,👍

well done

A good session john 👍👍🎣

Awesome video, wish I lived in that area to target the Pike, please don’t hold it against me😜

Draw bag didn’t do you any favours Jon.But I really enjoyed watching how you go about reading the peg.Till the next vid enjoy the fishing.😀

Well fished bud, agree with what you said in the first video. Overall results should be based on zone positions and sections are the daily money targets. Think you'd have been a lot higher like that but regardless well done and brilliant series of videos.

Enjoyed these 3 videos Jon. I am surprised over the 3 days you did not have a single bonus fish. A bream or bigger chub ETC. Are they just not there or is it tactics?

enjoyed that Jon,looking forward to another great vid as always. .

Nice video! Is bread also good to use now? When it's getting colder? Thnx for the videos! I'm learning a lot of them. Grtz from Holland!

Well done jon.would it not have been worth a punt to Chuck a feeder over the the far bank or are those tactics not used anymore as when I match fished many years ago we always tried the far bank first for Chubb.👍👍

By the time I'd cupped in 15 balls long half the match would be over! Interesting that you stood up when doing the balls at 15m, might give that a try next time.

I was blowing a bit just watching you cup in!

You threw everything at it Jon. .. maybe not always the best reward for effort?? 😊 Not that I'm suggesting I could have done better ... probably though 😂 ❤

You need one of those bait boats the carp and bivvy mob use haha

Three days of this, I bet you can’t wait to get back on a commercial. 😂

Do pike count in a match????

Didn't seem much flow ....

I'm not a match fisherman, so please don't shoot me!! While your potting bait in, why not have a feeder rod fishing ? You might get a bones fish, got to have a hook in the water to win.

cant win um all Jon

Take no notice of other jobby anglers irrational old wifes opinions Jon.... if you had pike problems, it's got naff all to do with anything you did 2hours earlier. Opinionated people like that, rarely make the frame consistently
