Watercraft left dock occupied by 5 males going duck hunting. Watercraft was fully loaded with persons and hunting gear. As watercraft was guided by the operator, the bow sank beneath the waterline and began taking on water. Operator had all persons move to the back of the watercraft to correct the watercraft's attitude to no avail. The watercraft sank with 5 souls on board. The persons began swimming to the nearest shore, approximately 200 meters away. One person was unable to remove his waders, sank below the surface and drowned. The other 4 persons were rescued shortly thereafter by other hunters also hunting in the same area.
