A second body has been found in the search for four missing fishermen near Garden Island.

The body, which is yet to be identified, was found just after 5.30pm on Friday.

Another body, believed to be one of the fisherman, was found earlier on Friday afternoon.

It's understood a 50-year-old man from Coodanup, his 24-year-old son, 40-year-old brother and one other family member, believed to be a 31-year-old male, set off on a fishing trip in their 5.5 metre boat named 'Yeah Buoy" on Wednesday evening, but did not return.

Police are continuing the search for the remaining fishermen today.
