Subjects were bow fishing near the Pt. Aux Cheins Marina. Their vessel, a 2008 aluminum Gator Tail boat, LA7715FT, was travelling north in Bayou Pt. Aux Chenes. The vessel was idling through the intersection of Bayou Pt. Aux cheins and Cut Off Canal. As the vessel made it's turn three subjects stood up on the front deck to take up positions to begin bow fishing. The vessel got caught in the extreme current that passes through the intersection and capsized and later sunk.  All five of the passengers were rescued by bystanders who were at the marina at the time. None of the five were wearing PFDs at the time of the accident. Alcohol is not considered a factor in this incident.
