Exactly.
Water quality is key to a fishes good health and is especially important if we are going to give a fish a stressful time.
Tazi.
I've also seen the same but even just throughout one day on a busy lake. Anglers changing swims, others taking their place, all throwing in large quantities of bait, no wonder some carp are fighting like bream, water quality and oxygen levels must be on the floor.
Bacteria will be thriving though.
I suspect by the end of the summer we could be seeing some sick fish around.

I fish busy club waters. I try to see signs of fish before I set up in a swim. First day / night I only bait up a few freebies next to my bait. Just in case the previous person in the swim filled it in. Where I fish lots of bait equals lots of bream. Better to fish very tight or use pva bags and stringers. You can go the other way and bait heavily but only if you are doing a long session and are prepared for three nights without sleep catching bream. The carp will eventually come but it's exhausting being up all night catching bream.

Absolutely mate.
And if I think to that the carp was a big and stunning one as well, a dark coloured common, it adds a bit of sadness being the culprit of such a lost.
