sensas challenge 2nd round

[joffmiester]

hi all

soaring temperatures and bright conditions everyone expected the canal and river to fish harder this week and be very busy ,and busy it was with loads of boat and walkers on both venues but yet again both venues  surprised everyone and fished as well or if not better than last week . the total weight for the river this week was a exceptional total of 105lb 09oz beating the total weight on the canal but only just 102lb 08oz, this competition is really making the headlines with most of the conversations being about which venue to choose as both are as good at the moment.the river section had a few surprises as the tench didn't figure as much this weekend it was down to skimmers roach and perch with some weights of bleak ,but it was inform Leicester sensas angler Mark russel who found the first nest of fish and caught from the off with some quality skimmers to a pound Mark feed a large amount of G/B to keep in touch throughout the day with red maggot being the best bait for a total of 20lb.2nd mr consistence Rob wootton wigston Rob had a mixed bag targeting roach on hemp and perch on chopped worm and a few fish over G/B for a total of 13lb4oz closely followed by Ant king of trentmen with 10lb 14oz again a mixed bag 4th place went to the vets world champs team member Roger Marlow of Leicester sensas with 7lb 15oz .

well it was business as usual on the canal with the fishing machines in full swing roach and skimmers coming out right through the length mostly on squatts with some better fish coming to caster to rod of the day was Leicester sensas new signing Pete scott with a weight of 12lb 6oz pete loves the canal and drawing a favoured peg made no mistakes catching over G/B and squatt 2nd place went to brad titmus guesting for Leicester sensas Brad is another good angler that makes the most of a good draw and ended the day with 8lb14oz 3rd place another inform angler Mark eustace of Leicester sensas Mark targeted the bigger roach on caster and had some roach to a pound 4th Steve hurst a new signing for wigston again not too far away with 7lb 15oz all squatt fish



with no money involved in the team competition this year let me tell you its the one to win and perhaps prizes rather than money would keep just as interesting ,although Leicester sensas have three teams in the competition the rivalry is second to none and this week it was the turn of

Leicester sensas C  Joff woodgett, Pete scott, Brad titmus,Mark eustace Roger marlow and Darren Bickerton to take 1st place with a score of 28 pts
