Seven Sisters Ponds at Thornton Hough | Wirral Fishing

Some drone footage of the seven sisters ponds at Thornton Hough in Wirral aka the stork ponds.

Looks a lovely set of ponds there Mark, great for a day on the float I should think 👍

[@MarkCarp]

yeah they were andy, back in the day it was a bite a chuck for roach and crucians using punched bread on the pole, i kept getting snapped off by the small population of carp that lived in there and that's what started me carp fishing👍🎣😎

[@jamiegriffiths420]

Looks very nice 👌

[@MarkCarp]

yeah it looks good doesn't it jamie, i think they open up to new members on 1st april each year👍

[@danielwalker3535]

So that’s were you fell in Love in with the old Harry CARPenters🤣they look Gorgeous from there air mate great for an evening session👍cheers Daniel

[@MarkCarp]

yeah they look good dan, certainly in better shape than when i fished there all those years ago. i dropped my ticket for the club a long time ago so i've not set foot on the place for nearly 3 decades, i only really filmed this for drone flying/filming practice, it just happens to be quite local but not near anywhere built up and you never know, it might give the local fishing clubs waiting list a bit of a boost👍

[@McDookJnr]

Nice use of the drone mark. Quality footage from it.

[@MarkCarp]

yeah i'm made up with the quality of the footage from the mavic mini tom, it's not even on it's best quality setting, i set it to the same as my video cameras i use for filming (hd/60fps) but it does 2.7k as well👍

[@kaijuminiatures8312]

Will look at joining looks a good water I normally go to rufford or broomscross

[@MarkCarp]

apologies for the late reply mate, your comment got caught in youtube's spam filtering system for some unknown reason?, it's a decent club but they don't have anything approaching the quality of brooms cross👍

[@MaffTUK]

Getting a bit of fly time I see Mark looks a nice place 👍

[@MarkCarp]

yeah matt, i was desperate to get some flight time so i just took it to a local pond i used to fish many years ago, it's in the middle of a big field so nobody around and i could fly to my hearts content, i went through a few batteries and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon👍🎣😁😎

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Nice lakes and love the drone footage

[@MarkCarp]

cheers phil, that was my first time using it, i must admit it does take great footage although it doesn't get much use at the moment, a lot of fisheries seem to be banning them, which is a shame as they are superb for fish spotting👍

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Mark Carp I thought of getting one my self but was put off by the price and the Moore I looked into it I found they can sometimes fly off on their own

[@MarkCarp]

@@PhilipBrown1967 yes they can phil, that happened to me with the first one i bought last year, first time i used it, it flew off never to be seen again with me powerless to stop it!. a very expensive mistake on my part but i tried again once i'd saved some more money, i've learned my lesson (operator error and my fault) and i've had no problems with the new one👍

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Mark Carp what made it fly off Mark, and I bet you where a bit miffed

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

nice view there :D is there super giant carps here ?:D "D

[@MarkCarp]

no mate, only a handful of carp in there and only small ones👍

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

@@MarkCarp cool thats great too thks for the updates :D "D

[@TheCarponeiger]

Belting footage that mate 👌

[@MarkCarp]

cheers mate, i've had this mavic mini for months now, february i think, too windy, lockdown, more wind and rain, there just hasn't been the oppotunity to use it so first chance i had, i took it to an old stomping ground just to have a play with it👍😁

[@FanterFishing]

Bloody hell Mark I was born when you had your first carp lol

[@MarkCarp]

i'd already been fishing for 15+ years by then matt, we had no carp back in those days, it was roach, tench and crucians. This was the first water i fished that actually had some👍🎣😁

[@FanterFishing]

Mark Carp that’s a lot of angling experience 👏

[@MarkCarp]

@@FanterFishing it is matt, i did a long apprenticeship before turning to carp fishing, 48 years an angler now👍🎣😁😎

[@davee196]

I used to fish these ponds in the late 60's/early 70's. I only caught rudd and crucians back then.

[@MarkCarp]

rudd and crucians were the mainstay in the late 80's too dave but the former club stork ac had out a few carp in, not many, just a handful, it's where my own carp fishing started. according to the psac website there are even barbel in there today?.

[@davee196]

@@MarkCarp Wirral was a carp desert in the 60/70's. In the early 70's I caught a few carp at Birkenhead Park Lower Lake and the Captains Pit, Wallasey. There was also a deep pond off Station Road, Thurstaston that contained wild carp but it was filled in. It was rumoured that Meols Pit contained carp at that time but it was unavailable to the public.

[@MarkCarp]

@@davee196 it's still a carp dessert now compared to the rest of the country dave. I knew there was carp in birkenhead park back then, i fished it as a kid and i can remember trying to catch one of those mythical giants by bunching up all the shot under my waggler and burying my hook in a piece of floating bread crust, needless to say they didn't have any of it😂 this was in the late 70's.

[@davee196]

@@MarkCarp I read a Dick Walker article in a magazine about using sweetcorn as bait. After much searching me and a mate found an old fashioned grocers in Heswall which sold tins of it. We legered sweetcorn over to an island using 6lb line. We lost a few before catching a few and some tench. Same at the Captains Pit. I've got photos of those catches somewhere.

[@MarkCarp]

@@davee196 revolutionary times dave, i was too young to know who dick walker was back then but i remember sweetcorn, it was very popular and in constant use as i was growing up👍 i caught my pb tench at the time from birkenhead park on sweetcorn👍

[@harryinnes9634]

Nice video.......mark just wondered if I could ask a maybe dumb question ......is a carp fly cast out with a bubble float a silly idea? Catching off the top with bread is great.but fancy making a few foam flies to sit on surface. Any ideas appreciated

[@MarkCarp]

yeah it sounds like a bad idea harry, a bubble float works well but you don't fly cast it, you just use a fixed spool reel, a conventional fly setup would be better for carp, no float, just your fly line and leader with your foam fly on👍🎣

[@harryinnes9634]

Sorry mate I didn't explain very well..yes fixed spool reel and float rod being used .....cant proper fly fish where I go....I just cant find much info on these zig bugs I see for sale.....how do we get them out on the water? Got a be too light for freelining

[@callummarzy2854]

What about just walkers mate not fishing is this land okay for that?

[@MarkCarp]

it's in the middle of a farmers field mate so perhaps not, there is a public footpath down the side of the field though and as far as i know it leads through the leverhulme/thornton manor estate so yes, the area itself is good for walkers👍

[@welshbay]

Hi Mark I watch a lot of your videos some great content, but please when your editing next time take the keystrokes out of the video lol

[@MarkCarp]

hi andy, you're not the only one who noticed them, i didn't realise they were in there, they won't be next time, lesson learned on that one mate👍

[@adiesaywhat]

Membership to PSAC is currently closed. Please do not fish this water without a membership

[@MarkCarp]

indeed it is, i did wonder if i should put this video up at all adrian, there are some right idiots in the world these days, i'd like to think people would at least go to the website and read that it's closed for this year and perhaps apply in spring. i used to love fishing this place when i first started carp fishing👍

[@carlpeers6156]

Did you run this past PSAC before you posted their water onto a public forum?
