A search is underway for a missing fisherman on the mid north coast.
Emergency services were called to Red Rock headland, north of Coffs Harbour, at around 5:30 this morning, following reports a 26-year-old man was missing.
His friend raised the alarm after he failed to return from a fishing trip in the area yesterday.
After an initial search, officers discovered fishing gear on rocks nearby.
They then launched a search involving water police, police divers and Surf Life Saving New South Wales.
