Missing angler search stood down
The search for an angler who failed to return home at the weekend is to resume at first light on Tuesday.
That's at least the second angler in two days that appears to have tried to tackle the fish on their 'home ground'.

Take care out there.....try not to fish alone and always tell someone where you're heading and when you ought to be back. And if you don't have a flotation suit, consider giving the rocks a miss....

Have to agree Sandman.
In addition to the flotation suit I often use my life jacket (the self inflating type) when fishing alone on rocks. After a couple of mins you forget you have it on. As i said on a previous post I'm tied up with the coast guard and have taken body's from the water that could have so easily been rescues instead of recovery's if life jackets were worn.
