been seeing some large gatherings of carp (or buffalo) not sure which , on the surface of an area lake. the lake is 55 feet.-deep.....why are they gathered on the surface in a large school? Would they feed on corn or corn flake balls on the surface?? never seen this before.....what do you carp anglers think ?

Are the just milling around, or are they splashing? Carp will come completely out of the water sometimes. Buffalo are not so flashy. They tend to look more like a porpoise rolling on the surface.

these fish are in the hundreds just sticking their mouths out of the water all bunched up.....striper and white bass mixed in with them!

That does not sound good. I have seen carp do that is water that has a poor oxygen content. That seems strange to me in a lake with deep water like you are describing. Whatever the case, I doubt that they are feeding.

Where is this located? Low oxygen IMO
