HOLMES BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a Gulf coast fisherman drowned off the southern shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway after apparently being swept under by rip currents.

Authorities found the body in four feet of water.

The man had been wade-fishing in the waterway with a friend on Thursday when he got pulled by the rip currents.
