There are grave fears for a rock fisherman missing after falling into the ocean on the NSW Central Coast.
The 22-year-old was fishing off rocks at Snapper Point, south of Newcastle, on Sunday morning when he slipped and fell.
His friends threw life rings but couldn't save him.
Water police and surf life savers have been scouring the coastline but the fisherman hasn't been found.
The search comes just over a week after a woman was washed off rocks at nearby Lake Munmorah.
Her friend jumped in to save her and a police officer then dived in after both of them.
The officer kept the pair, who weren't wearing life jackets, afloat until a rescue helicopter airlifted the woman to hospital, where she later died.
