Helicopter rescue at sea for fisherman

A FISHERMAN has been winched to safety after falling ill on a fishing trawler 180km north-east of Mackay.

The RACQ rescue helicopter was called to the man this afternoon after he became severely ill with an undetermined medical condition.

Duty pilot Rick Kendall and his crew were called to the scene at around 5pm.

"A crew member was lowered onto the boat and winched him back up," he said.

"The retrieval went off without a hitch."

The man was flown to the Mackay airport where he was then transported to Mackay Base Hospital.

He is in a stable condition.

Earlier this month another fisherman was also rescued by the chopper after he fell ill on a trawler based on the Great Barrier Reef.
