    UNCUT Podcast #034: Danny Fairbrass Surprised Us All

    In this week's show carp fishings Gaffer Danny Fairbrass is in the Uncut Podcast studio. With Damo missing, Tom Dove, Neil Spooner, and Adam Reed pull Danny in and it quickly turns into one of those episodes where proper carp fishing thinking takes over. No agenda, no polish, just an honest conversation about recent fishing, winter decision-making, and why doing less often catches more. Plus, Danny also talks openly about going on social media for the first time (It only took 26 years) and why it's never been a priority until now. The lads cannot believe it and have a few questions. 📲 Search Danny.Fairbrass on Instagram and FB to follow him. The chat moves from Spooner's 50 and winter captures into a detailed look at Danny's recent trip to Etang des Gaulois in France. Shallow water, soft silt, big fish - and plenty of reasons why most anglers would have overcomplicated it. Danny explains how he approached baiting, rigs, and timing, and why rumours about a lake "not fishing" usually say more about anglers than the venue. 🎧 In this episode: Recent Spooner's 50 fish and why some just stand out Winter carp fishing and letting the venue do the work Danny Fairbrass on Étang des Gaulois — shallow water, soft bottoms, right approach Boilie fishing in winter and knowing when to leave it alone Making fishing films and what anglers should (and shouldn't) take from them Rumours, booking agents, and backing your own judgement Spot fishing properly on pressured lakes Consistency, discipline, and still having to think 📬 Want to join the Spooner's 50 Club in 2026?
