Default 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.
