The search for a man who went fishing at one of Auckland's west coast beaches has resumed this morning.
Police confirmed search and rescue teams were back at Bethells Beach working to find Myung Kang, who went missing at the beach on Saturday.
It is understood the man's son raised the alarm about 5pm on Sunday after his father failed to return from a fishing trip.
Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill, of the Waitemata Police, said the 57-year-old's car - a 2011 white Toyota Prius - was found at the Bethells Beach car park.
"His family became concerned that he hadn't come home from his fishing trip and reported him missing to police late on Sunday night," he said.
"Police immediately commenced searching for Mr Kang and his vehicle throughout Sunday night."
The Eagle police helicopter had conducted an aerial search of the area and that Surf Life Saving staff had been helping with the search on the ground also.
Police are now appealing to members of the public who were at the beach over the weekend for any sightings of Kang.
"Saturday was a hot day and a large number of people took the opportunity to spend some time at Bethells Beach, so we are hopeful that someone has seen Mr Kang with his fishing gear," McNeill said.
