Absolutely and I've been harping about the carp for years. They do get less active with colder nights and mornings. River is often muddiest mornings and clearest around dusk.
My best days all came in a clear section of the river. In fact the SAME section. No other section - and I've bank fished about 30 miles so far - has given me more than 14. With most avg around 2-3.
I too was out friday afternoon. Below is a pic showing how low and clear. That water is not muddy. That brown is the sandy/silty bottom. You can see how low it is. On the left side of the picture u can clearly see a log(and tire). caught a pike off that. It doesn't look like much but thats where they sit and well camoflaged they are. Didn't get as many as you but almost.
