78 anglers had to face biting and blustery easterly winds last week as they competed for the title of Sensas King of the Canal at Daingan. Strong winds and pole fishing are not the best of bedfellows, and the gusts made it tricky for the anglers to present a bait effectively. With roach still absent due to spawning, most of the better weights came from skimmers with the odd bream or tench an added bonus. In a close fought battle, Willie Wheeler came out on top with a weight of 14lb 14oz.
