A bystander who attempted to help rescue a teenager swept from rocks at Port Kembla has warned of the dangers of fishing at Hill 60.
The body of Brenden Hurd, 19, has not been found despite a multi-agency search yesterday.
A wave knocked him into the ocean at the popular rock fishing platform on Monday afternoon.
In a video posted to Facebook, Tony Mojanovski pointed to cuts on his legs and said he and others had tried to help save the teenager.
"This is why you don't fish at Honeycomb on bad days," he said.
"Someone is now being looked for by helicopters.
Mum's tribute
The mother of the Berkeley teenager has started a fundraiser to help pay for her son's funeral.
"He was my sunshine," Tracey Hurd said in a tribute on social media.
"I can't imagine living my life without him.
"My heart is broken.
'Individual responsibility'
Police have implored anglers to consider their safety at the notorious fishing spot, which claimed the lives of five men last year.
"We urge all people to take all necessary precautions," Superintendent Craig Ireland said.
"Wear life jackets, don't fish alone, don't fish at night, and be aware that it's particularly hazardous.
Wollongong Council has placed multilingual signs in the area that indicate the number of deaths at the site and warn of the dangers of rock fishing.
The search for Mr Hurd has resumed and police divers may be deployed if conditions permit.
