Its the hybrid stripers trying to (what I assume) is trying to stun the bait with their tail or they crash the water and make a big slap noise. It's definately them though as I've heard and seen them doing the same exact thing at night before.

I will say that I've seen carp doing the big splash/tail slap thing during spawn but only usually during the morning hours.
