Police rescue fisherman stranded on a rock

This man is lucky after being stuck on a rock in a hard place! Police Air Wing rescued the 56-year-old after fishing for around four hours and stranded about 200 meters offshore in Tarwin Lower. He was winched to safety before being checked and cleared by paramedics. Being aware of the conditions and wearing the appropriate safety gear is just as important off the water as it is on it. Before you cast your following line, learn more about staying safe at the beach, when fishing, or at rivers and creeks.
