It swim right under my canoe I tried to get a picture but ran out of time....I'm wondering if the mackerel in my bait tubes attracted it
...big brown thing coming my way I was working a mackerel on the bottom,and thought it was kelp till I got close like 5 ft under me and it lifted it's head up and I could see a big brown sea turtle.http://iswfsc.noaa.gov>texblock (http://iswfsc.noaa.gov>tex block)

Wow - seen them a bunch in the back bay where its warmer, but never out at the mouth.

Did see one once off Marine Room at La Jolla though...

Snorkeling it was the size of a hub cap I followed it for
alittle while,but the one yesterday I had my trolling motor on 1 going with the incoming tide fishing a mackerel on the bottom and I saw a big brown spot thinking it was kelp coming my way I grabbed my pole to keep from tangling in it as it got real close I could see it's head tried to reach in my pocket to grab my cell phone for a picture but to late it was going by my trolling motor and headed out to sea as I watched the brown spot fade away....I'm wondering if the mackerel in my bait tubes brought him so close
