Holmes remains top after landing big catch

SOME long awaited Northerly winds greeted anglers at the beginning of week 20 but that did not deter Terry Holmes.

The resulting rough seas coaxed anglers out in search of cod, but despite the almost perfect storm, anglers were left floundering again.

Holmes registered another win with a fine collection of five fish for a total of 2-140; Mark Colling continued his good form with the only codling to take the sweep.
