The search for two missing Central Florida boaters not seen since Friday night, has now turned to a recovery mission, authorities said.

26-year-old Charlie Jackson and 30-year-old Jason Cobb were reported missing on Saturday after the pair failed to return from a boating trip on Lake Jesop.

Since then State wildlife officials have turned up the 15-foot fishing boat the pair used, along with some personal items.

Officials believe that Jackson and Cobb could have been thrown from the boat and are likely dead, according to news reports.

Lake Jesop, located on the border of Seminole County and Volusia County, is one of the largest lakes in Central Florida and supports a large gator-infested population.
