VESSEL CARRYING 2 WHITE MALES WERE IN THE GULF OF MEXICO ABOUT ONE MILE OFF SEA RIM STATE PARK PULLING A SPORT SHRIMP TRAWL.  THE NET GOT HUNG ON A SNAG ON THE BOTTOM, AND THE BOAT TURNED STERN TO THE WAVES.  THE BILGE PUMP WAS EITHER NOT WORKING OR WAS INSUFFICIENT TO PUMP OUT THE WATER.  BOTH MEN WENT TO THE STERN OF THE BOAT TO RELEASE THE SHRIMP NET AND A WAVE CAME OVER THE STERN AND SWAMPED THE BOAT.  THE MEN WERE ABLE TO PUT ON LIFE JACKETS AND RELEASE THE NET.  THE BOAT FILLED WITH WATER AND THEN CAPSIZED.  THE MEN LEFT THE BOAT AND SWAM ABOUT A MILE TO THE BEACH AND WALKED TO A NEARBY HOUSE FOR HELP.  THE BOAT WAS FOUND CAPSIZED ON SEA RIM STATE PARK LATER THE SAME DAY.
