ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Coast Guard aircraft and boats are continuing their search for six men who failed to return from a recreational fishing trip off Atlantic City.

The Coast Guard says it received a call from the wife of one of men on Sunday night. She said the men had left Forked River Saturday aboard the 32-foot vessel Black Magic for an overnight fishing trip about 85 miles east of Atlantic City.

They were due to return Sunday morning.

Two rescue helicopter crews, a C-130 aircraft and three Coast Guard boats are searching.
