A bass boat had collided with a pontoon boat that was stationary in the main lake at the mouth of Peters Creek and about 20 yards from the State Park Marina wave break.  The bass boat was fishing in a restricted area which is behind the riprap on the main lake side an in the area of the State Park boat ramp (see map).  There was also another boat that was fishing this area and was also asked to leave prior to the collision.
