Best Months for Seeing Sea Turtles in the Bahamas

Hey all, just got back from a week-long snorkeling trip to Andros Island and I'm still buzzing about spotting sea turtles at the Tongue of the Ocean wall. The guides told me that September to November is usually peak turtle season because it's after their nesting period and they tend to congregate around the reefs. Has anyone else noticed this pattern or do you have any tips for increasing your chances of seeing these guys in the wild?
