Rodbourne Lagoon, which is sandwiched between the Cheney Manor Industrial Estate and a railway line, will be featured in a new programme fronted by Alan Titchmarsh, Nature of Britain, on BBC One. The series will feature a section on urban wildlife, and Rodbourne Lagoon was suggested by us as a great example of an improving urban habitat which hosts an increasing abundance of healthy fish.

I had a great 24hrs with dad having to reel the rods in because we needed our sleep! Dad had 14 8, 9 6, 15 4 but he was busy helping me with my PB of 19 4, and then 14 5, 12 3, 11 4, 11, 7 9 and 6. Dad spodded up an area I could cast to and with the Oddy's we fished bottom baits with small PVA bags. "Dad, I make that 7-3 better luck next time!"

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 15:36:19 GMT http://www.essex-fishing.co.uk/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=26 The last few weeks of fishing have been up and down as much as the wind has been blowing. One day you tear the trout up and the biggest of them would only be 17 inches. The next trip out you might catch all trout over 20 inches. We still are using pinfish and grunts and starting to use live mullet for bait. The reds have been doing about like the trout. There are some under sized reds 15-16 inches and some big bull reds. One Wednesday my 2 client party landed two keeper reds, one 26 inches and one 24 inches. They had some nice hook ups but did not get to land them. They did land seven nice trout, 18-20 inches. On Thursday the wind was blowing harder, around 15-20 east northeast.That morning when I got started I thought it was going to be a tough day. But I was wrong. It was a great day of fishing. My clients caught 14 redfish. None of them were over sized, but they were in the range of 16-26 inches. Besides the reds they landed two trout. One was 26 inches and the other was 24 inches. With a catch of 15-19 fish it was a great day. I took Katie and Adam from Orlando out Friday. Katie surprised Adam with the trip for his birthday. It was a great day for Adam. He landed three nice reds and lost one by the boat. He also caught four keeper trout. Katie never landed a redfish but she did catch three nice trout. She was okay with that. She kept saying it was Adam's birthday and she didn't want to catch more fish than he did. Wednesday was a cold morning and Marvin and Gail had a hard day. Between the wind, the cold and the water dropping the fish were extremely hard to find. They caught two reds and 2 trout. One of the trout was a five pound gator. That helped make their day. I wish I could have put them on more fish, but they were happy with their day and they were a lot of fun to take out. Some days are harder than other days. the wind, the water temperature, the tide, so many things can change the amount of fish you catch. And some people think if you don't catch a lot of fish the day is too hard. But I'm predjuice. I think every day I can spend on the water, whether it's hot or cold, calm or windy is a great day. Take someone out on the water and if you don't catch anything, remember the time you have with that person. It's still a great day!

I've been too tired to do anything else but sleep lately. The speckled trout fishing is still good and the redfish - are here, there and scattered all around the Lagoon. If you can find them and can sneak up on them before they get spooked you will catch some good ones. It just doesn't take much to scare them. On one trip this week with a client and his younger sons, we found a nice bite of trout. On the first cast they caught a nice trout and as soon as we hooked him, a school of 10-15 dolphins came to the boat and ate the trout right off of the line. We caught four more small trout and were able to land them, but as soon as we released them the dolphins swooped in and ate them too. The larger dolphins were swimming around the boat and slapping their tails on the water like they were training the smaller ones. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it, but we caught a forty-inch redfish and release him. He was in good shape, and strong. He started to swim off, but a dolphin grabbed him in it's mouth and while he was swimming off, another dolphin was swimming beside him trying to take him from the first one. I don't think they could eat the redfish but threy sure killed it. I have fished here all of my life and I hve never seen the dolphins try to eat everything you released. Either they are getting smarter or lazyier. We finally had to pull anchor and leave that spot. There are some nice tarpon showing up in the Lagoon as well as some good sized bouy fish (tripletail). Tripletail are some of the best eating fish around. You can find them around bouys or other floating objects. You can sight fish them with a shrimp or a small pigfish. On Saturday morning I had two men, David and his brother Tommy and Tommy's grandson Chris. we had our limit of trout caught at 8:30 in the morning. We found a great bite of fish on our second stip. Sometimes you just get lucky and everything comes together just right.
