Big Dam Turtle.
 

on the way to my private beach on friday i was passing what looked like a piece of wood sticking up. turns out it was a big old turtle. went about 80 pounds. size of a small sea turtle but it was in the bay.
see em all the time offshore but never inshore and NEVER inside.
head a bit bigger than a baseball. didnt get a real good look at it but it looked a little brownish and about 30ish inches across the shell.
we get little ones in the canals and stuff but nothing like this.

SEA TURTLES are normally a good sign of a good hard bottom close by. They like to live on hard rock bottom down here. Whenever we see one we mark the spot and look around it for structure.

We do the same up here, too...

Reel, I didn't know ya'll had sea turtles on the lake:sun:
