This is a friend of our family

All, this article is about a long time friend of our family. He has fished these waters for years and years. If you are out on the water and see something, please report it to FWC or the coast guard. We first heard of this incident this morning, and we do not know any more details than is in the article.

FWC looking for missing boater off Wakulla coast

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is searching for a man who went missing Monday evening after fishing outing off the coast of Wakulla County.

The boater was reported missing about 6 p.m. Monday after he left from the St. Marks Lighthouse, said Keith Blackmar, spokesman for the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office. His boat was recovered on the east flats, but he was not in it, Blackmar said.

The U.S. Coast Guard and FWC are conducting searches for the man. WCSO has its Marine Unit and a diver on standby if needed.
