Snorkel/Fishing report 12-10-2020

Snorkeled on the bay side of the rocks at Las Gatas yesterday afternoon. The water was a little murky. I saw a turtle as big as myself! HUGE! The big ones are cool - they're not scared of you, don't scuttle away - just cruise around checking you out, then go about their business.

Then in the boat as we left the bay, we saw two whales spouting off on the North (west?) side of the entrance to the bay. Caught a cocinero (another cat favorite), saw some stingrays, saw rays jumping out of the ocean, caught a barrilete, saw three turtles having a three-way, then on the way back into the bay caught at HUGE Sierra near the lighthouse, but it bit through the line and took off! Later for him!

Sunset was beautiful! Another perfect day in paradise!

Thanks for the report! Sounds like you had an ideal day in paradise.

The water is often murkier in the afternoon. Not sure why. There isn't as much boat activity like there usually is this time of year. But maybe it doesn't take very much.

Cool that you saw whales in the mouth of the bay!

Was the turtle a laud?

Unless they break the law, they're always a loud.

Aiii, ¡qué chistoso(a) eres!

The water, when we were swimming this morning seemed cooler than yesterday and definitely not as clear. Winter coming???

Not a laud turtle - green turtle (?) It was HUGE!

I'm aware of the afternoon more murky, but we always go in the late afternoon, and it's usually clearer than this. It was cold, too. Who knows. Still fabulous!
