Four experienced fishermen have gone missing after setting out on a boating trip off Florida’s Gulf Coast on Saturday morning. The group was expected to return that night but has not been heard from since. Poor weather conditions, including heavy fog and rough seas, may have contributed to their disappearance. A search involving local law enforcement and the US Coast Guard is ongoing, covering a large area off the coast. The missing boat, a white 23-foot SportCraft, has not been located, and authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Venice Police Department.
