Mr Duncan had been fishing at rocks close to Victoria Terrace shortly before 5 o’clock when the accident happened.
Other fishermen helped to rescue him and a number of emergency teams were called to the scene.
He was recovered from the water by the Portrush in-shore lifeboat and taken to the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, where he was pronounced dead.
