If you’re a fisherman in a kayak, fishing off The Sea Ranch, you’d probably prefer not to see a Great White Shark. Ken Fischer wrote, “Four of us were out fishing this past Saturday and Bruce Bonfils caught this big Lingcod, 35 inches and 23 pounds. We also had a visit from a Great White Shark of about seven feet in length who cruised by very close to a couple of our kayaks. A memorable morning!”

There is no photo of the shark, but I can show you Bruce's big catch - that's one happy fisherman!

Thanks to Ken for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Still hot on the Mendonoma coast, though right at the water's edge, it is really nice. Big cool down coming according to the weather folks. This morning's sunrise was stellar! I took this from our deck in Anchor Bay.

John Batchelder was watching Sea Lions rafting and feeding recently when three Humpback Whales showed up. One breached as John was ready with his camera.

And here's where the whale hit the water. Notice the birds nearby - these are extremely rare Black-vented Shearwaters.

Here's a photo where John shows the three Humpbacks.
