Don't say that to Headhunter....
Boatie who sparked a massive four-day search when his fishing trip went horribly wrong goes missing at sea AGAIN just over two weeks after his first ordeal
- Tony Higgins, 57, sent out a distress call to police around 5am on Tuesday
- He said his ten-metre long boat had been taking on water off Victor Harbor, SA
- Earlier this month SA launched its largest search operation to find Higgins
- Higgins and Derek Robinson were found four days later and said they were fine
A fisherman who sparked a statewide four-day search after he went missing on his boat has disappeared again just two weeks later.
Tony Higgins, 57, was moored near Granite Island off Victor Harbor, south of Adelaide, when he made a distress call to police around 5am on Tuesday.
Mr Higgins said his wooden fishing boat Margrel was 'taking on water' and police have now launched another search operation with a rescue helicopter and Sea Rescue volunteers.
Rough conditions on Tuesday forced rescue boats to return to shore.
The fisherman and his friend Derek Robinson, 48, sparked South Australia's largest maritime search in history when they went missing while travelling from South Australia's Coffin Bay near Port Lincoln to Goolwa on September 3.
Mr Higgins was fined $1,000 for having an out-of-date Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB), as well as old flares on board and not having an appropriate recreational boat licence.
Gary Juleff, a freelance video journalist told the ABC when police arrived on Tuesday morning following the distress call, the boat had vanished.
'When I got down here, nobody could see the boat,' Mr Juleff said.
'(Police) tried to phone him back - no answer - so the answer to this question is 'nobody knows'.
'They said there's nothing out there and we don't know where he is.'
Over the weekend, Mr Higgins found himself in trouble again when the Margrel ran aground on a sandbar in Victor Harbor.
The rescue mission is ongoing.
Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said a second search party for the vessel was 'frustrating' for authorities.
'I think it's fair to say there's an element of frustration that the state's resources are being dedicated to this for a second time,' he said.
'The first event cost us in the order of about $650,000.'

Take a bow, Tony. You're a Darwin award finalist.
Hull debris found washed ashore.
Skipper - not so much.
Stopped it in it's tracks, anyway. Kanga had a look of "WTF ?" on his face.
Thanks, the kids will have a good larf later. Didn't think about it but never expected to see a roo headlock a dog, though the roo didn't seem to know what to do next; if the guys didn't turn up, I guess it would probably eventually relax and loosen its hold for the dog to bolt.
If the big Boomer is chased by dogs and is near water he will hop in and when the dumb dogs follow
he grabs them and sends them to a watery grave.

go the roos
And the famous jingle
No...what they do is hold the dog (or person) and disembowel them with a good kick or two. They are well-known for this. Their claws are quite sharp and the back legs very strong. That one was just waiting for a break and to get the angles right.
It's instinctive behaviour, same as drowning the dogs.
