Boats and helicopters have been deployed to try to find a missing fisherman who failed to return after a day trip out to sea.
Emergency services were called to the Batemans Bay Marina, on the NSW south coast, on Saturday night after a 56-year-old man was reported missing.
The man left the marina about 6am in an eight-metre Arvor cruiser for a day’s fishing trip.
He was spoken to about 10am but has not been heard from since.
When he failed to return to the marina on Saturday evening, emergency services were called in to try and find him.
Boats from Marine Area Command and Marine Rescue NSW, a fixed-wing aircraft and a helicopter searched through the night, but neither the man nor his boat was found.
The search restarted on Sunday with the boats, aircraft and Surf Life Saving NSW deployed to help find the man.
