2/21 LJ

Fished from 10am-sunset with Landwhale, no fish but perfect conditions the whole day. This sea turtle was fearless and came right over to me bumping the kayak and just stayed there looking up at me. I tried to feed it a crushed up mackerel, but it did not seem interested. I have always seen turtles in LJ in the summer, usually they are munching on those big jellyfish and don't let you near them. I also had the misfortune of having one eat a flylined mackerel years back, they pull hard, I got the hook back from that one.

100+ LJ trips under my belt in two years and I have never once seen a turtle. I am truely jealous and envy you. The would wipe the frown off my face from 100 skunks if I got to see one. Stoked for ya!

Awesome sunset photo too. Maybe you'll have part in the Jackson cover photo two months in a row! Once in front of the camera, and once behind!

Awesome pictures. I especially love that sunset one. That should be a magazine cover. I have caught a Mako Shark and had a Gray Whale take my mackerel and give me a sleigh ride but I have yet to see a Turtle out at La Jolla. Maybe on one of my next trips. Thanks for sharing.

Nice photos. Do you use a waterproof case with the Nikon or just stash it in a dry bag?

Those sunset pics are the most stunning pics I've ever
seen of La Jolla. What makes them even more cool:
the Landwhale is back, better than ever!
