WA police narrow search for fisherman

The discovery of fishing gear has led West Australian police to narrow a search for a missing fisherman to a stretch of rocks where he may have fallen.

Jan Zapatocky, 68, is missing from Gracetown in the state's South West region.

The Bunbury man has not been seen since Friday when he went to Gracetown to go fishing, and was reported missing by his niece on Wednesday.

He has not made any contact with family or friends since then, and police have concerns about his welfare.

Police found his white Holden Commodore abandoned in the car park of Canal Rocks in Yallingup on Wednesday.

Water police divers are on standby.
