Testimonials:
Anyone thinking of having a days fishing with Jon… don’t think about it… do it! The session I had was an eye opener to me. I have fished Bishops Bowl for five years and never caught as many fish as I caught after Jon’s tuition. Jon showed me that even 1 day a week anglers like myself could catch and compete in matches. So guys an gals if you want to improve your fishing get in touch with Jon Arthur. He will improve your angling so much! – Steve James
I had a fantastic day out with Jon pole fishing. He is truly a really all round nice guy who knows his fishing! I would highly recommend him to anyone. – Matt Hall
I had a brilliant day and I know it will definitely put more fish in my net. Jon’s a fantastic coach and would improve anyone’s angling ability. Highly recommended. – Andy Kirtley
It was a very thought provoking and enjoyable day. The little tweaks are invaluable. Put them to use on Sunday and won a small 20 peg knock up with 120lb! – Neil Jeacock
It really is a great alternative to pants and smellies for your birthday treat! A great day and learnt a lot from a top guy. No secrets and great to learn new skills at my age. Highly recommended! – Dave Roberts
The whole day from start to finish was brilliant. Talking through swims, rigs, setup, shotting, hooks, how and when to feed. The fishing was a bonus and the icing on the cake was unbelievable photos don’t lie. What a venue. The photo with the fish accounted for about 1/3 of the days catch! – Gordon Hitchen
