MONROE, Mich. (AP) _ The Coast Guard says four Michigan fishermen whose 19-foot boat capsized in western Lake Erie have been rescued.

A Coast Guard spokesman says the men were spotted clinging to the boat Friday afternoon. They were offshore from a small island about 35 miles southeast of Detroit.

The men, who are between 52 and 76 years old, received medical attention.

The fishermen set out early Thursday. A family member called the Coast Guard Thursday night.

Boats, helicopters and other aircraft from the U.S. and Canada cooperated in the search.
