On the above date and time, operator and passenger were returning to the Bayou Pigeon Public boat launch and struck a submerged object causing passenger to be thrown onto the driver's steering console contributing to a minor abrasion to his right temporal area.  Both subjects were wearing serviceable and proper fitting Personal Flotation Devices and neither of which were impaired by any stupifying substance such as drugs and/or alcohol.  Evidence shows that the contributing factor leading up to the incident was a submerged log exposed to such depth by current low water conditions in the Atchafalaya Basin.  Operator vessel was equipped with remote steering.
