The kayak belonging to a fisherman missing since yesterday has been found washed up on a beach near where he was last seen.
The man’s kayak was found on the shore of the Firth of Thames early this morning but there is still no sign of the missing man.
Senior Sergeant Leo Belay, Waikato Police said there was a possibility the man had made it back to shore and said police would like to hear from anyone with information.
The man was fishing with a friend off the Thames Coast Road, North of the Waikawau Boat Ramp yesterday, when he lost his oar.
His friend went back to shore to get assistance and found a member of the public with a boat to help.
