RedactedNarrative: On July 3, 2019 at approximately 2145 hours I was on vessel patrol with Warden on Allatoona Lake.  At the time I was in the area of Bethany Bridge, I heard several people yell and heard two boats collide. I immediately saw a bass boat stop and turn around to the left of my location.  I traveled to the bass boat and spoke with operator1, he stated that he made contact with a boat.  
  
  Operator1 stated that he saw the boat at the last second and turned right to attempt to miss it, but made contact with the port side of his bass boat near the bow.  I asked if he was injured, he advised that he was not.  I then located the second vessel involved and spoke with operator2 in a pontoon.  Operator2 stated that he was travelling slow and the bass boat was moving very fast and they yelled as he approached.  Operator2 stated that no one was injured.  The pontoon had minor damage to the left pontoon.  I asked both parties to pull over the the dock at Bethany Bridge.  I copied both parties ID and boat information.  I observed that the bass boat had a deep scratch and damage to the trolling motor and rub rail on the port side.  The Pontoon had metal bent on the bow near the waterline.  Operator2 was issued a citation for violation of rules of the road on the water.  Operator2 was on the wrong side of the channel at the time of the incident.  Operator2 stated that he saw our patrol boat and traveled around it a few moments earlier and that is why he was on that side of the channel.
