A 25-year-old fisherman who was reported missing Monday night was rescued 10 miles southwest of O‘ahu yesterday morning.

The man left Waiçanae Small Boat Harbor at about 6 a.m. Monday and was heading toward Kaçena Point to fish. At about 11:30 a.m., the fisherman sent a text message to a friend that he was returning because the fishing was bad, according to the Coast Guard.
But the man did not return and police found his truck and trailer parked at the harbor late Monday night. Honolulu Fire Department crews and the Coast Guard searched for the man with no luck.
At first light today, the search resumed and the pilot of a C-130 Coast Guard aircraft spotted the fisherman at about 6 a.m. clinging to an overturned 14-foot boat and waving for help. The Coast Guard sent a radio broadcast for help and a fishing vessel in the area picked up the fisherman.
