MONROE, Mich. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard and others are searching Lake Erie for four Michigan fishermen whose 19-foot boat set sail a day earlier.
The men, who are between 52 and 76 years old, left Sterling Park in Monroe at 8 a.m. Thursday. A family member notified the Coast Guard around 10 p.m. when the men weren't home. They'd been expected back at the boat launch about 4 p.m.
Boats, helicopters and other aircraft from the U.S. and Canada searched for them Friday.
The wife of one fishermen told the Coast Guard she talked to her husband — the boat's owner — by cell phone around noon Thursday and nothing seemed amiss.
She said life jackets and a global positioning system were on board.
Two of the fishermen are from Eaton Rapids, one is from Lansing and another is from Charlotte.
