Carp impact on Bass?

[Bassin4life]

I'm curious if any of you guys notice the impact on the bass bite when carp are spawning and roughing up the waters.

I took my boss out fishing today to an area friends of mine caught 30 fish and best 5 over 25# yesterday! The bite just seemed off. Bass weren't anywhere to be found around their beds as carp were just tearing up the waters. I managed to land 5 fish and he landed 2 fish. We each had a couple come off. We had fun for a half day morning trip, but I was hoping for a better day for my boss. They were all pulled off the bedding areas and barely hitting. 4 of mine came from a Popper that they barely sucked in, even letting them take it before setting the hook. Only 1 female between us weighing 5.75 on a handheld, still full of roe.

Does carp action seem to kill bites for you guys too? Or was the bite just off for us and a coincidence?

Unless its really severe, I don't think it makes much difference.

I was there as well on Sunday brother and it was out of controll!!! They were everywhere, never seen it that bad. They were still on their beds but you could tell that the carp had bothered them.This should be done very soon.

I was thinking of helping it be done soon... My archer friends n I could shorten up that spawn real quick-like. Lol.
