Summary
Big Carp Angler and Sub Surface icon Gaz Fareham joins us on this weeks Thinking Tackle Uncut. With Spooner and Dovey out filming in in Europe, Damo and Adam are joined by Gaz for an honest, thoughtful chat about life, fishing, and what it really takes to balance both.
Gaz talks about how his fishing has changed completely over the last 18 months β working full-time in horticulture, living away from home, and squeezing every ounce out of 10-hour "work night" sessions. Despite the graft, Gaz has still managed to land some incredible carp β including a rare 49lb mirror called Black Spot β proving what's possible when you're organised, efficient, and determined.
π£ In this episode:
- Gaz's transition from the tackle industry to a full-time job
- How he catches carp fishing in short overnight sessions
- The importance of organisation, mindset, and watercraft
- The tactics that keep bites coming on busy club waters
- A look back at his early Korda days and iconic films
If you've ever wondered how to stay consistent when time is tight, this episode is packed with lessons, nostalgia, and plenty of trademark Uncut banter.

| 0:35.3 | Now if you're watching, you're going to see we're minus Spooner and Dovee, and that's obviously because they are in Douda. We touched on it last time. I think they've got a few days left.

So if you want to know what's been going on, you can check that out. But it's gone pretty well the first week. And they've had a little bit of success in second week already. So a great film in the making there at an absolutely incredible venue. But because they're not here, we have got, well, a proper big carp guest, I'd say. Big beard. He doesn't like that.
