CNN —The search for four fishermen missing off Florida’s Gulf Coast has been suspended, the Coast Guard said.
The search was called off at 8 p.m. Monday, “pending any new information,” the agency said in a statement.
The seas were not “too rough” when the group of experienced fishermen set out, but a heavy fog descended that could have been “a factor” in their disappearance, police Capt.
“Going into overnight and into Sunday, the wind’s picked up, the seas picked up and of course it’s been raining most of that time,” Leisenring said.
A vehicle and boat trailer were still parked at the Marina Park Boat Ramp, from where the group set off, police said.
