secki Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Not sure if this is the right spot but another unforunate fisherman has lost his life. A FISHERMAN has been swept off rocks to his death near a Sydney beach, police say. The man was fishing near Mahon Pool, 500m north of Maroubra Beach in the city's south-east, around 2.30pm (AEST) today when he was swept into the ocean, police said. Passers-by raised the alarm after spotting the man face down in the water. Local lifesavers on jet skis attempted to retrieve him but were unsuccessful due to rough conditions. The man's body was eventually winched from the water by helicopter. Police are now trying to identify him. Anyone with information was urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Police will prepare a report for the coroner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arpie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Shame - sorry to hear that. I guess we all should think about having some form of identification on us when we go fishing ..... I usually have a copy of my fishing licence on me or my gear somewhere .... what about you? Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
