Went out yesterday afternoon with a few buddies. We struggled on the fishing end, 5 trout, 1 red for our troubles.

What was interesting though is that we saw a sea turtle while we were drifting the south end. Has anyone ever seen a sea turtle in the lake before? I thought this was pretty cool!

And before the peanut gallery chimes in and says it was just a regular turtle, it was close enough off the bow to net, and it had the curved fins and sloped shell.
Definite sea turtle, I would of netted and taken a pic, but the calmer heads on the boat reminded me that the Feds would not be amused if I did that.

I saw one by the weirs last year.

Have seen them before. Usually later in summer though

Saw one around Texaco cut last year around this time.

I've spotted them serval times in BL and on Holly Beach .... they seem curious and will get pretty close without spooking

I saw 2 this past Thursday. One small north of pelican point and one one the southeast side that was bigger

i saw one near lamberts weir about a month ago

I saw two dead ones on the beach yesterday

when I worked at Dii by LNG we'd see them in the turning basin. We've seen at least 3 different ones, seemed like two different species possibly.
