NAPLES - The Coast Guard spent a second day Monday searching for three boaters missing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Gary Lisk, 61, Neal Eddleman Sr., 47, and Neal Eddleman Jr., 13, all of Naples, planned to fish near shipwrecks 66 miles southwest of Naples. They were scheduled to return to their private dock by 6 p.m. Saturday, said Coast Guard spokeswoman Danielle DeMarino.

The Coast Guard began an air-sea search Sunday after a friend reported them overdue. Searchers have covered about 20,000 square miles, DeMarino said Monday.
