The boat operator was operating the motorboat 1/2 mile off shore from Koybayashi Boat Ramp with three occupants onboard.  The group was engaged in fishing when the wind picked up considerably out of the north west to speeds of 20-25 mph. The operator stated the surface of Ennis Lake quickly became very rough and choppy.  The operator stated the waves were approx. 3 feet high across the lake.  the operator began to run the boat back to shore to Koybayashi Beach.  The operator stated the boat immediately began to take on water as the manuvered between waves.  Occupant 3, had his PFD on during the whole trip.  Occupant 1 and 2, also put PFDs on as winds began to pick up on the lake. The operator stated suddenly the bow of the boat rose and a large amount of water entered the stern of the boat.  All occupants were dumped out of the boat as it capsized. The operator also put a PFD on at this time.  All occupants held on to the boat as it drifted and began to sink.  They all drifted with the boat for approx 1/4 mile and for 10 -15 minutes.  They then were rescued by an individual who been observing  their accident.  As the occupants began to load onto the rescuers boat the operator observed the boat completely sink and disappear from site.
