Search for missing WA fisherman suspended

The search for a fisherman who failed to return from a solo fishing trip off Perth's northern coast last week has been suspended.

Father-of-two Rohan Wilson was expected to return his 6.4-metre vessel to Mindarie Marina by 8pm on Wednesday but has not been seen since.

An esky similar to the one Mr Wilson had on board was found 30 nautical miles west of Mindarie during the search on the weekend but it is yet to be positively identified.

While the official search was suspended on Monday, police said the search area would be included in normal patrols where possible.
