RedactedNarrative: On 6/25/18 at approximately 11:42 AM, I (CPO) was notified by State Police of a boat accident at LaSalle Lake where the vessel was sinking but the occupants were on shore.  I requested the Seneca Fire Department/EMS and headed to the scene.  I arrived at approximately 12:07 PM and spoke with Seneca Fire, which was already on scene.  It was determined the vessel was tied off to the shore and the occupants were at Veterans Point.  I drove to that location and found two subjects sitting on shore wearing PFDs.  
  
  I spoke with both subjects who stated they were not injured.  Both subjects stated they were fishing near the 150 mile marker for the lake when they observed water splashing over the rear of the boat.  Over time, the aft of the vessel began to sink and was about to go under.  They attempted to return to the boat launch, but they went the wrong direction.   When they reached Veterans Point, subject stated he saw the rear of the vessel going under.  Operator then drove the boat to shore where they tied off the boat and climbed to shore.  Senica''s Interstate Towing was called and removed the vessel from the water.  The Vessel was taken to Senica''s for inspection into the cause of the accident.  
  
  It was determined the bilge pump was not working.  The cause of the accident was attributed to a combination of wind causing the water to splash over the vessel and the bilge pump not pumping water from the vessel.
