AN EXTENSIVE air and sea search is under way after a fisherman was reported missing off Christchurch Harbour.

In the early hours of this morning (Wednesday), Yarmouth Lifeboat was scrambled to help search for the man, after he failed to return to his London home.

The grey inflatable he was believed to be fishing in was spotted by the coastguard helicopter shortly before 1am this morning but there was no sign of the man.
