According to the operator, he and occupant were picking up duck decoys off of hog island point in the pamlico sound.  While picking them up a decoy line wrapped around the prop and stalled the engine.  When the engine stalled the vessel was flooded by waves over the stern.  While the vessel filled with water it turned completely over.  Both the operator and occupant went into the water.  Both were wearing waders and hunting coats.  The two managed to hold onto the vessel.  Approximately 2 feet of the boat's bow remained above the water line.  Both operator and occupant tied duck decoys to themselves to help stay afloat as well.  Another member of their hunting party had remained on shore and dialed 911 for help.
