Good news for the local match scene this week as the Sensas UK Southern Canal League will be staging two rounds on our sections of the Grand Union Canal. Sensas UKs Alex Clements has paired together with Darren Rogers Sensas A4 ace to provide this fantastic league starting up in March this year. This league is focused around fishing different canals in the South of England, such as the Kennet and Avon Canal, Oxford Canal and the Grand Union Canal (2 rounds on Luton AC sections). Along with offering flexibility to the competitors, the league offers a broad range of Sensas prizes for both the final league placings, and the individual match rounds themselves.
Alex comments:
We wanted to provide a league that didn’t involve going to the same canal, as we all know they do suffer from pressure. In the South of England, we are fortunate enough to have a fantastic selection of canals that do not get fished through the months of March, April and May, so it’s an ideal opportunity to create this league. With this in mind, we have also tried to keep the league flexible, competitors only having to fish four of the six rounds to compete for the overall 100% payout jackpot. As well as the overall league payouts there is also an excellent payout structure for individual placings on the day, section money and Sensas prizes to be won!

Elsewhere on the Grand Union Canal plenty of perch over 2lb and the occasional pike are being landed by lure anglers. The canal holds many 2lb+ perch with the best in 2017 being a 3lb 11oz specimen caught in a match and another of 3lb 10oz caught 5 miles away in the same week. The pike population in the canal is doing well with several fish now topping 20lb and one rumoured to be in excess of 25lb although finding them is always the challenge.
The canal has a large 100+ canoe event taking place on Sunday 21st January between the Grove Pub and The Three Locks so anglers should avoid the area between 11am & 2pm
At Beckerings Reservoir Young Callum age 7 caught the pike known as Yellow Spot at 20lb 13oz. The fish was so big that dad Luke had to sit behind Callum in the photo and lift the fish for him.
Also at Beckerings Paul Williams managed an upper double common during his session.
We are hoping that the reservoir will soon be refilled by the farmer as the banks below the platforms are extremely muddy but this is something that's unfortunately out of the clubs control so currently do take suitable footware.
