7 teams of eight lined up to fish the second round of the Superleague on the Huntspill between Gold Corner and past the Clapper and the venue fished quite consistently with plenty of Bream, skimmers, eels and Roach to be caught. River Huntspill – Gold Corner to the Clapper (56 pegs). Winner on the day was Kev Perry (Sensas Thyers) who was pegged below Woolavington bridge and caught tight across on the feeder on maggots and worms to take Bream to 4lb and weigh in 49-12. Second was Dave Micklewright (Maver Bathampton) who caught Bream to 3lb on the feeder from peg 60 above Woolavington.
Nine teams of 5 entered this annual challenge, providing a strong field for the RAF Mosella team to finish off their Division one practice week. New Junction Canal, Kirkhouse Green15th August 2011, 45 PegsAlthough the canal was carrying a good colour, hot bright conditions and little flow made the fishing hard for the majority of the field. Local lads, Sensas North read the conditions perfectly and took the team trophy with 15 points. Although they were pushed all the way by the RAF Team Mosella Red team, who finished only a point behind, relegating the mighty Ultimate Barnsley Blacks into 3rd position.

We’re in an era when good-quality seatboxes are arriving at our offices every few weeks, so just how good is the new Sensas 700? Joe Carass checked one over to find out… For the past few years Sensas has been trying to make a name for itself in the seatbox market, and several models have been brought out since the company’s first designs. Now, though, I think that a product of a quality synonymous with the Sensas name has finally hit the tackle shops. The 700 box really is the perfect example of what the modern match angler is looking for in a seatbox. It has a modular design so that trays can be added for extra storage, along with a slide-out rig section where anglers can house hundreds of rigs or various other bits and bobs.
