Police searched by water and from the sky, looking for the two fishermen, who were in their 20s.

Authorities said three men were fishing when they all fell in the water. One of them managed to get out safely, but the other two never resurfaced.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission led the search for the two men.
