Belligero Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi All,Was fishing Avoca beach Friday night, Around 9 or 10PM we saw a distress flare out near the rocks at terrigal.Called 000 and gave them all the details. About 30min later a police boat and helicopter could be seen doing a search.Anyone fishing at terrigal know what happened?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray R Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Mate I spoke to someone involved in this matter and it appears that it may have been a trawler of some sort, maybe indicating that there are nets in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catchin Jack Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Using flares to indicate nets in the area? Good to know they are using distress flares for notifying people of their nets. If that is the truth I hope they get their butts kicked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belligero Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Not sure if it was a trawler. I could see no boats out at sea until the police boat came around. The helicopter kept searching the rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linc Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Nice way to draw the attention of surrounding boats to tangle their nets if it was a trawler... Hopefully it wasn't a fisho in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
