Video: Dolphins Surf, Sharks Stranded

Years back, a river broke its banks and flooded the Carabrook Golf Club in Queensland, Australia. Several bull sharks came into the course during the flood and were stranded at the 14th tee when the water receded.

Now at least six of these creatures are calling this home and they're thriving.

"You can't believe how close you are ... just six feet away," the club's general manager Scott Wagstaff told Sky News. "There's no drama, it's become a positive thing for the golf course. They are amazing. I've become a shark lover since working here."

Wagstaff admitted to feeding the hungry sharks occasionally by throwing in chunks of meat to bring them to the surface.

Just as many tourists come to see the sharks' dorsal fins slice through the water as golfers looking for a day on the course.

The bull shark, which has been known to attack and kill humans, is known for its ability to thrive in both salt and fresh water. They have been known to travel up rivers—they've been spotted in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers—and take up residence in many lakes such as Lake Nicaragua.

Whales congregate off Long Beach

Vast amounts of krill 6-7 miles from Long Beach on Tuesday made for spectacular whale watching. Capt. Chris Batts from Harbor Breeze Cruises called in from the whale zone Wednesday morning and said he had seen at least 15 whales surface.

"I've seen blue whales, fin whales, humpbacks and minke whales this morning," he said.

Whale watching was excellent off Dana Point, Laguna, Newport Beach, the Santa Monica Bay and Santa Barbara, too. It looks like a fantastic time to get out on the water and see these truly magnificent creatures.

Quick bites

• Good fishing for rockfish dominated the Southern California coast this week, providing anglers with excellent table fare. There are more than 60 species of rockfish found in Southern California waters, all of which are great eating. Boats from the Channel Islands to Baja California experienced summerlike weather and very good bottom-fishing this past week.

• Marina del Rey Sportfishing reported very good lingcod fishing on Tuesday afternoon as did the Tradition out of . Jimmy Bass from Tradition Sportfishing said one of the best ways to catch a big lingcod is to bait your hook with a freshly caught sand dab. "Over and over again, a sand dab for bait will produce a fat ling," he said.
