Fisherman drowns at Botany Bay

A man has died after being swept off rocks while fishing at Sydney's Botany Bay.

A surf rescue helicopter retrieved the man, believed to be in his 30s, from the water around Inscription Point about 5.30pm (AEST).

He was winched to the aircraft where a doctor and paramedic tried to resuscitate him.

The man was flown to Prince of Wales Hospital but died shortly afterwards.
