Both vessels had returned to the launch instead of staying on the scene where it had happened. The operator of a small fishing boat was traveling down river watching for debris when he saw the small white light. He thought it was a light that was on the shore when he noticed a pontoon at the last second. He turned his boat to try and avoid hitting the pontoon. The boats impacted on each of their port sides. The pontoon was anchored at the time of the accident. Both operators had words while on the scene. The only damage to be seen was a broken trolling motor mount on the small boat and cosmetic damage to the port side of the pontoon. The owner of the pontoon also said he thought it may have busted one of the fiberglass pontoons but did not have a trailer to pull the boat out to check it. I was able to obtain all the information on both boats and occupants before leaving the scene.
