A Mooloolaba fisherman has gone missing in calm waters off Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and although an extensive search for the man continues, Police say there is a slim chance of finding him alive.
Luke Howard, who is 35, was fishing from a jet ski off Mudjimba with a friend when it began taking on water so he got into the water to try and fix it but was unable to climb back on.
His friend tried to tow him back to shore while clinging to the back of his jet ski when he disappeared.
Sergeant Kyle Bates from the Water Police says police cannot use divers due to strong current and the large search area, as such the chances of finding the man alive in the in the water were slim.
