He was reported missing at 7pm last night and search crews found his six-metre boat unmanned off Port Kembla in the state's Illawarra region a few hours later at 12.15am. However there was no sign of the fisherman.

The United States Coast Guard suspended the search for a missing fisherman after a vessel with four people on it capsized in 7-foot swells and heavy winds off the coast of Oregon, officials said.
