Missing are Steve Strout, 63, and Alex Harner, 13.
Operational watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville were notified Sunday at approximately 7:45 p.m. that both boaters had not returned from fishing at a pre-scheduled time.
The boaters departed from the Edwards Road Boat Ramp in Yulee, Fla., near Plummer Creek aboard a white 18 to 21-foot Ranger bass boat.
A HH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Savannah, Ga., was searching but is currently grounded due to heavy fog. A Nassau County Sheriff’s Office marine unit is also searching.
