What a contrast with the weather. A gloomy morning, slightly misty with persistent rain developing early on. We are making for the late afternoon tide and are booked in at Brentford at 17:00, so no rush. We were the only boat locking down at Sunbury, but joined three others at Molesey. Approaching Teddington long moorings, which were empty by the way, a small trip boat came up astern and I moved over to give it room. Some fishermen were hiding behind a moored boat with lines out and one caught a very large steel fish! We could see his line reeling out, caught on our bows, but nothing we could do I suspect. The look on his face as he tried to reel us in!
