Ventura fisherman missing since Wednesday night prompts search effort
A fisherman from Ventura reported missing Wednesday had not been found as of midday Thursday. His boat was found Wednesday night with no one aboard about 10 miles off the Ventura coast, authorities said. The U.S. Coast Guard was leading the ongoing search for the 71-year-old after he was reported overdue from a fishing trip shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday, said Coast Guard Public Affairs Specialist Richard Uranga. The Coast Guard found the man’s 40-foot commercial fishing boat just before 9 p.m. Wednesday, Uranga said. Crews towed it to the Ventura Harbor. As of 9 a.m. Friday morning, Ventura Harbormaster John Higgins said he had no update on the search despite continued efforts to search local waters. Photo, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 14:48
