[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 354512, member: 6974"] Finally found some pics I was looking for - they were on a back-up hard drive, not on my laptop. Several friends and I crabbed for 20 years off the coast of northern CA out of Half Moon Bay/Pillar Point Harbor. It is located south of SFO and north of Santa Cruz. Usually we crab 4-5 miles off shore in 180-190 feet of water. In 2009 we had NO luck on opening weekend, so I added 100' of line to the traps and we went 12 miles offshore to 280-290' of water. The next day when we went out to pull the traps this is what we saw: [ATTACH type="full" alt="PB170058.JPG"]55046[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]55047[/ATTACH] Leatherbacked turtle: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherback_sea_turtle[/URL] In 30 years of salmon fishing in the same area I only saw one other turtle. We also met up with this guy heading north in the shipping lane: [ATTACH type="full"]55048[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]55049[/ATTACH] The SS Capella, a BIG vessel: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Capella_(T-AKR-293)[/URL] [/QUOTE]
