Trial League Off To Blazing Start.
The first round of the Sensas River/Canal league got off to a cracking start, with plenty of fish being caught on both the River Soar, and the Loughbrough Canal. This years event is being run as a trial, meaning teams are welcome to join at any time, as there is no cash prizes being paid out to winning teams. Three anglers fish on each of the two venues, with the cumulative result being decided on section points.

River Result

The river section at Sutton Bonnington fished hard to start with, but very fair with different methods catching fish. Some anglers fished a feeder with great results, others opted for a chopped worm approach but most fished pole over groundbait. This seemed to have the edge to start with, with the first hour resulting in a bite every put in. This soon slowed down though, leaving the big fish boys to take advantage. The top three weights all included at least one bonus tench.

1 Andy Astel  (Loughborough Maver Soar) 7-13-0  
2 Mark Russel (Leicester Sensas C)  7-8-0
3 Pete Marlow (Leicester Sensas) 7-5-0
4 Ant King (Matrix Dynamite Trentmen) 6-9-0
5 Mark Godfrey (Leicester Sensas) 6-0-0

Canal Result

Yet again, the canal stole the show with a staggering 146lb 12oz total for the 20 anglers fishing. Most fished pinkies and hemp over groundbait, but the individual winner Malc Mott fished big maggots for dumpy roach from 3oz to 6oz, and  a really nice 14lb 9oz total.

1 Malc Mott (Loughborough Maver Soar) 14-9-0
2 Sam Randall (Trentmen) 13-4-0
3 John Shellard (Leicester Sensas) 12-12-0
4 Gary Smith (Leicester Sensas) 13-13-0
5 Mark Eustace (Leicester Sensas) 8-1-0
