Chris 55 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The body of a fisherman has been found floating off the NSW mid north coast. The 46-year-old man's body was found at the southern end of Nobbys Beach at Port Macquarie at about 3.45pm (AEST) on Friday 6th June. His fishing gear was found on nearby rocks. It was not clear whether the man, from nearby Telegraph Point, had been swept off the rocks or fell into the water, police said. A post mortem examination will be held at Taree hospital on Tuesday.
