RedactedNarrative: Operator and his son were fishing in Weeks Bay and decided to head back to the landing.  As they were underway the throttle control came apart and they were only able to idle in.  Operator then noticed that his vessel started taking on water from the stern of the vessel.  He was able to idle the vessel to a pipeline platform near the mouth of Bayou Patout and Weeks Bay.  He then tied his vessel to the platform, unloaded a few items his son and himself and that is when his vessel filled with water, sank and overturned.  It is undetermined what the actual cause of the incident was because Operator was unable to recover his vessel and he is unavailable for questioning for the next 3 months.
