In this episode of The Carp Cast, Jamie Clossick sits down with Northern Angling Social co founder Lee Spence for a deep dive into how NAS was really built. From the raw early days of Show 1 through to the new era of NAS, Lee lays out the decisions, risks and culture that shaped one of the most influential movements in modern carp fishing. The conversation goes beyond fishing. Lee shares the story of Diecast Manchester and his background in music, clubs and the city's underground scene, revealing how that world directly influenced the way NAS events were created, run and experienced. It is part carp history, part Manchester history, and a rare look behind the curtain of how something genuinely different was put together. The episode also features a long form interview with bait guru Marcus Watts, recorded at the end of last winter. Although filmed some time ago, the insights are perfectly timed for the coming period on the bank, covering bait thinking, seasonal strategy and how to stay one step ahead as conditions change. If you care about where modern carp culture came from, how scenes are built from nothing, and how to fish smarter in the months ahead, this one is essential listening. https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Manchester/DIECAST/The-Northern-Angling-Social/41653503/
