Missing fishermen found in WA waters

Western Australia's Surf Life Saving helicopter has found three fishermen who were missing for about 13 hours.

They were found on Wednesday morning in the water off the east side of Rottnest Island, wearing life jackets.

Eight vessels and two helicopters were involved in the search after the trio, including the 77-year-old skipper, failed to return to Woodman Point at 10pm (WST) on Tuesday.
