A body has been found at a Northland beach this morning believed to be the man who went missing while crab fishing last month.
A member of the public found the man's body at Uretiti Beach about 500 metres south of Tip Rd at 7am.
Police believed it was the 35-year-old man who went missing on November 22.
The man went out in small inflatable dinghy to set some crab pots.
There was a very strong wind blowing offshore and the man's dinghy was blown out to sea, Police said.
