I'm from the U.S love ur channel so I have a question wen u do fish there do u get to keep the fish n is the fish eat able?
Yeah, cruisin' down the waterways. That's what it's all about. Loving the music too.
Yeahhhhh thanks for joining :)
you should start " Guerrilla gardening". Planting little garden plots wherever you moor, keeping track of them on a map so whenever your in the area you can get some "foraging" in off of your little garden spot. You can let friends and fellow boaters know if you choose and share.
We did this and sprinkled native wildflower seeds along the towpath đ would love to see if any grew!
Guerilla gardening đđ
Love this idea!!! We may have to put it into action come Spring âšđșđŒđ±đ„
Hello Ula and Josh. My grandmother was a super lady. She teach me how to pray, spoke fairy tale to me,.. An old lady born in Austria - Hungary empires. She always hugged me, I remember, I brought her flowers as a boy. Alwasy cooked, worked as a woman. She tought me a lot of things. To be good, nice, order, discipline, to be quiet etc,... I remember when she died. I was there. Thats life. Have a beautiful day. Bye. Rudi.
Ohhhhh what beautiful mementoes you have of her Rudi! âšâšâš
Beautiful souls, love your energies. Keep up the videos they make me want to find happiness within instead of the rat race etc.
Thanks for the kind words Charles xx
Iâve watched all your videos and they get better and better â€the music is so good. Look forward to everyone thank you đđœ đ
Oh Maureen, that's so lovely to hear. Thankyou. Glad you like the music too! Xx
Anyone else feel like chucking it all in and doing the boat life - youâre both bad influences đđđ but lovely ones at that â€
Hahaha that's brilliant. Ohh that's really lovely if you think that. Thankyou Bessie xx
I used to drink at the Barge Honeystreet, getting on for 20 years ago, I expect its changed. Loved living in that area.
Love that place!!
Another beautiful vlog,you are two of the most beautiful souls i have had the pleasure of getting to know,thank you so much for sharing your life with us xx
Oh marina, how lovely of you to say! Thankyoy so much xxxx
you both get better and better each video, and my fishing question is answered here .
Thankyou xxx
You make the boat life look so perfect! I always chuckle when I remember what I call the poo vlog!đ đ
It isnât perfect⊠trust me đ€Ș feeling very lucky to have a compost toilet now !!!
Cruising right along with you. That was so enjoyableâ€
Thank you so much Maureen x
I must say that I am not getting notifications of when you have put a video up., was wondering where you were. A lovely relaxing video and the music was just right. Glad you got unstuck.
Hello lovely, make sure you have clicked on the bell icon, this should do the trick. So glad you're here for the adventure with us! We're excited to be here for good, now! Xxx
My Monday mornings are the best, coffee made by my hubby and your videos in bed, nothing better. Live the scenery and what a difference from when you first started. Love love loveâ€. Thank you.
So lovely Lynne xx really happy to have you along with us xx
Hi guys ive suffered from depression due yo trauma. I was in a bad relationship were violence was normal. I got out and im bk in my own county. I love your channel your always smiling. â€â€
Sharon you beautiful soul! Keep shining, wow, all you have been through and YOU are still a lovely human. You're a strong woman, đȘ â€ïž thanks for writing to us, it was nice to connect with you. Lots of love, ula and josh xx
Love that you are using your grandfather's rod. I still have the one my late uncle taught me to fish with and my son has been using it too. Invest in some barbless hooks (size 12) and buy a disgorger or forceps so you can get the fish back in quickly. Bread and sweetcorn will work too. Just squash a bit of bread on the hook and crack on. Deeper, shady bits are best. Tight lines đ
Ahh top man Peter. That was lovely to read. Good times. Thanks for the advice by the way! All the best,
Ula and Josh xx
Nice episode, and Hi from Ukraine đĄđ”, as always )
Thank you đ
Brilliant vlog with some beautiful scenery, and more to the point the music fits in well. Can't wait until next episode, enjoy your cruising. đ«
Thanks lovely đ xxx
Just Invite Me!!! I will come and spend a week or two with you both! And teach you how to fish also!! Loved the peace and serenity that yaw expeniece ever day!!!
Hehehe that is tempting!! Thankyou for the kind words Jesse xxx
Congratulations on your 20th video! I was starting to worry that you were going to have a near impossible time getting unstuck. Still didnât look easy. Beautiful shots! Looking forward to your next video!
Oh Perry, thankyou very much!! We're glad. Many more to come! I know that was a challenging cruise haha. Good fun though
When you are fishing off your boat try going off the back of your boat drop it down the side of the boat because the fish will be under nether the boat and its a nice way to relax and for your metal health and well-being good luck đ
I was also taught by my Dad. I also inherited "The Tackle Box" that contained all my Dad's and Grandfathers tackle. I even got my Grandfathers old metal rod & wooden fishing reel. What a wonderful gift. I feel so loved & connected to my familyâs history.
I really enjoy your videos I have watched you both from the start and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every single one of your episodes.The life you both have got is amazing.All the different places you can visit are going to be lovely and lots of lovely memories.Have a good week both of you.đ
Oh thank you so much for the kind words Sally! That is so lovely of you to say. We are very pleased to have you along for the ride xxx
Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures and beautiful boat life experiences with us all. You are just the most lovely couple really enjoy your vibes.â€â€â€from the US
Oh Charlene, how wonderful of you to say! That was lovely to read. Thank you very much! We are glad to have you along for our journey xx
For fishing still water like a pond or canal... Place a bobber at a spot on the line that represents the depth of the canal or just above the the bottom. In other words visualize a depth that will hover the baited hook right over the canal bottom. Bait the hook with a worm (bullhead/catfish) or canned corn kernal for carp. Wait until the bobber slightly bobs/jiggles and hook the fish with a jerk up and to the right. Hopefully that will prove successful.
Great to see ula get a big hug from lou she's a beautiful soul
Namaste â€
So fortunate to meet such inspiring and gorgeous humans here on the canal!!!
Wonderful video. Your content is the only one I can watch start to finish, great work đ
Thank you so much xx
Just getting to watch your brilliant video tonight (photo editing from family holiday and weekend sports event). It is so relaxing to watch and listen to your adventures with the great music in the background...hope all is well. Many thanks and very best wishes..ps.Once again Josh is an advertising natural
I knooooooow!!! Isnât he âšâšâš
The bait can vary immensely, worms, maggots, bread, corn, meat. If you ever see any fish, just try baiting the water a little, see what gets eaten. But please make sure you have a fishing license, it's mot worth the fine for the sake of 30ish pounds.
Got one now Alan, so chuffed. You're right. Very much worth it. There's a bait shop half an hour away so that's cool! Thanks for the advice buddy
Another wonderful episode! You two seem very happy and relaxed cruising along which is just lovely. Have a brilliant week and see you next weekend.
Thank you for joining us xx so pleased you are enjoying the videos

Isnât it stunning !!!! So pleased you liked the recipe :) thanks for being here with us xx
Beautiful, upbeat episode.
The massive bait for almost any fish in the Czech Republic is barely boiled macacroni,just short,2 cm long .
Bloody hell! Never knew that. Thanks for sharing

Love your videos. They are so relaxing and fun to watch. Have had to play catch up, but so-o-o worth it! Can you tell me a little about the Celtic music you use? Of Irish and Scottish decent and absolutely love it. Keep up the good work you two! All the best from Missouri.
Ohhh so glad you're all caught up now then! :) lovely job. As for the music, yes you're right, alot of it is Irish, Scottish and English folk music. British Isles folk music. Just love it, and really pays homage to narrowboating roots đ
ive watched a video where two narrowboats travelled across the wash. that was a good watch .
Ohhh Let us know who?

Listen to you all carrying on like Texas Jack mixed with a bit of Austin Powers.... oh behave đđ!!!
đthat is actually a cracking mix đ€Ł fair play
absolutely wonderfull !!!
âšâšâš
This may be an odd thing to say but seriously, Josh reminds me so much of Kate (from her CZcams channel the last homely house) that it's actually like they're the same person.
Hahaha that is so bazaar but strangely true in her mannerisms i say!!
Josh, try some sweetcorn if you have no maggots, which I always find work best on the canal. Good luck!
Great tip thanks buddy
Loving every video that comes out Thankyou and canât wait until the next one
Thank you so much xx
@@UlaandJosh no need to thank us as we all love you both and enjoy watching the videos and hard time and effort put into them
Another great vlog , thank you x
Thanks for joining us x
So excited to see you video was up †xx
âšâšâš
Awwww 20 vlogs already well done both of you good luck on the fishing you will get there enjoy the Cruising tc both the okdies đđŠđđŠ
Thanks Ann! I know you noticed that too. Super cool. Slowly building up the portfolio haha. Xx
try sweetcorn.
if you use meat baits you will get eels.
sweetcorn is good for carp.
and float fish dont ledger as you dont know whats on the bottom.
Ohhh great tip thanks Paul
Hi Both another great video, My Wife and fish all the time from our narrowboat either in the marina at Dunchurch(Near Rugby0 we have Carp Pike Perch Roach we use either maggots spam Sweet corn bread (take a small piece of bread roll it into a doe ball )they all work we have even used pieces of bacon and gammon they all work and artificial lures
Hiya Brian! - that's so cool your partner is into it too. Nice one. And thanks for the advice too đ
Loved everything about this especially the gorgeous music. X
Thank you lovely xx
I love your videos
Thank you xx
Another lovely vlog! Summer in England looks so lovely. It will be almost 39 C here today and we are DYING!!!
Wow that is super hot!! Much love as always Beauty xx
Congratulations on starting your journeyâŠI hope you keep in touch with Ken â€
We really do! He's a good friend of ours now. We keep in contact, even though we've separated locations :) thankyou xx
So lush and green - beautiful. Thanks for sharing all your changes and journey. I always thought carp were easier to catch in Spring, when they're friskier with the fresher water. I could be wrong about that. Looking forward to the travels ahead - love the rebel yell
Hello as always ur videos are relaxing to watch and seeing the wildlife in their natural environment is lovely that bird in the tree minding made me amused seeing him standing on a thin branch beautiful seeing babies out seeing them ducks line up in threes like they waiting for their boat bus lol đ I donât see a lot and when I do it makes my day more happier to be in this world xxx love to u both xx
I really enjoy watching your channel youâre a great team lovely energy â€
Thanks lovely xx
Smelly bait. My granddad made sticky, doughy balls of bread moistened with bacon grease and mixed with grated cheese. He caught fish so they must have worked.
Wow what a combo ⊠they sound as if they definitely would have worked đł
Best place for me to get fish is the fish n' chip shop down the road.đ
đ€€đ€€đ€€
Cheerio, Ula and Josh! Enjoyed your adventures on the Kennet and Avon Canal! Jenny

Ohh I wonder how to do that. We'll research it and fine out for you lovely. Thankyou very much
Great video as normal, love the oldy guitar and drum music you have on the channel

My grandad had the same fishing rod. I borrowed one day without asking and got it all tangled up in the trees.
I got such a bollocking I never went back to it.
Oh nooooo! You must pick it up again if you loved fishing :)
Great vlog as always guys, I don't remember you showing the bow of the boat before, looks a nice little spot to chill now Josh has cleaned it up.
Coke to think of it⊠I think you are right! We will have to do a boat tour soon :)
@@UlaandJosh coke? đđ
Same as my grandad learned me lovely rod sure you'll do it justice đ
So cool âšâš
You did it! You got moving again! Best wishes Brad and Angelina, from David and Victoria! Do you need another coffee? You'll need to make the secret sign! You know it, surely? Ask if unsure! David and Victoria!
Hahaha you guys crack us up!! đ€Ł you need to let us know what David and beckhams secret sign is!!..
@@UlaandJosh You like to be grounded....tonights video T 5min 35sec....we have a treat for you, if interested?
Hi. Good to see you both. â€â€
âšâšâš
âšâšâš
Great video guys, enjoyed it! Josh u look a pro at fishing bless ya. U must make time for your grandad at his age while heâs still around. I lost my grandad a wk before his 92nd birthday. I miss him so much. He was the best! He looked like captain bird s eye lol a chef in the marines. God bless him xx â€
Ohhhh that was so lovely to read. They're special people and you're right, don't take them for granted! I shall give him a call today actually, thankyou. Xx
@@UlaandJosh aww so welcome darling, but itâs straight from my heart and these loved ones need our love while weâve still got the time.. I constantly told him I loved him and made sure he had everything he needed. Filled his cupboards at Christmas making sure he had plenty to eat. But itâs your time they need as they get older like they once gave to us when we were young. Love to Ula & You , 2 beautiful souls. Lisa xxx â€ïžđđ
I was wondering how the biting bug situation is on the canals? I work in the woods of North Yorkshire and this time of year is awful for clegs and mosquitoes.
Hahaha have you seen our latest video đ€ȘđŠđđ·ïž
@@UlaandJosh I did đ. That was what I was worried about đ
Yet another great video Ula and Josh, keep up the fishing Josh, youâll get there. I still have my fishing gear at my daughters although I havenât fished since my dad died in 2002 when I was in Germany, he would have been 100 today if he was still alive. He was Royal Navy and his ship was HMS Sussex, google it and read its history from when the Japs surrendered on the ship and when it was hit with a plane †still looking as beautiful as ever Ula, Josh youâre a lucky man đ
What is that lovely music at 16:34 timestamp, I love it!
Great vid, thanks!
Ohhhh lively sorry for the late response ⊠not sure who it is off the top of my head but we use a website called artlist to source all of our music. You can find the artist using Shazam also I am sure :)
To fish you will need a rod license but to fish on the cut you will also need a waterways wanderers permit from the Canal and River trust , to fish most of the canals but what they don't tell you is out of all the thousand plus miles. You can only fish a couple hundred miles due to fishing club's having the rights to the majority of the cut . So even though I can't travel more than 7 miles before going over the cut I can walk to 5 canals in 30 mins yet i have to travel 10 miles to fish on a quarter mile section . P.s if you are caught without a license you can loose your rods car or van or a big fine . I find in the area I live I get best results from using three disco maggots on a 16 hook and I fish about 3 inches of the bottom, I use 3 pound hook length to 6 pound main line , if you haven't put new line on your reel it would be a good idea to . And watch out for them people on narrow boats the are a real pain đ
Thanks for sharing all of this information Andy!! Really good tips there đ
The cottage you passed made me think of a Kinkade paintingđ
Gorgeous hey!
