 The coast guard is still searching for four missing boaters, including two NFL players, who disappeared off the coast of Florida.

Coast Guard Officials say four boaters left from Clearwater pass on a fishing trip early Saturday morning in a 21-foot boat.

NFL Officials have confirmed that Oakland Raiders Linebacker Marquis Cooper and Detroit Lions Defensive End Corey Smith are among the missing boaters.

The coast guard is searching a 750-square mile area by sea and air.

Authorities say the current weather conditions are making the search difficult.

Coast guard searchers are encountering 14-foot seas and 30 mile-per-hour wind gusts, that make it hard to spot the small white boat.
