Summary

The Korda UNCUT Podcast returns and with Damian missing, the lads are joined by Big Carp fishing pro Oscar Thornton (Mindset) - fresh off the back of a session that was meant to take weeks… but was wrapped up in just 10 days.

Fishing a low-stock lake with a handful of target carp, Oscar committed early: pick an area, bait it properly, and sit on it. While others were fishing light and moving on showing fish, he went the other way - find out exactly what he did to get the quick win. It’s a proper look at backing your own approach and letting it play out.

🎧 In this episode:

  • Oscar Thornton’s 10-day campaign and catching target carp quickly
  • Fishing a low-stock venue and committing to one area
  • Heavy baiting in spring vs following showing fish
  • Long-range fishing at 140+ yards and staying accurate
  • Hinged stiff rigs over seed, hemp and crumb
  • Undertow, debris, and keeping rigs fishing properly
  • Sitting it out vs moving - and trusting the process
  • Dovey ending a long blank and why one bite changes everything
