Westpac have searched from Double Cone to Long Lookout and there has been no sign of any wreckage or the missing person.
Searchers have received advice from fishing experts on areas to search and those areas have been searched without success.
Information received from members of the public has lead to the location of marker buoys.
At around 3.00pm this afternoon searchers will commence an aircraft sweep with radar searching for anything metallic.
If the aircraft radar search is not successful it is likely that the search will be suspended.
