Quebec security is asking for the public’s help in finding Labrador Pepito Jr., one of two fishermen missing since Friday in the Marsui sector of the Haute-Gaspésie.
The 45-year-old Montreal man was last seen on July 17 on the St. Lawrence River in the area of Highway 132. He was wearing a black sweater, black fisherman’s pants and fishing boots.
According to information received, the man was on a rock when he was carried away by the tide and fell into the water. Since then he has not been seen on the surface again.

Let us remind you that at the time of the disappearance there was a second person with the forty-year-old man. However, on Friday the body of a fisherman in his thirties was found lifeless.
The search continues while a command post has been established near Sainte-Anne-des-Monts.
