RedactedNarrative: On August 3, 2017 at approximately 1:00 PM, I responded to a call of a vessel taking on water 1 mile north of Government Cut. At approximately 1:10 PM I arrived on scene and advised that the vessel was partially submerged and anchored in the water and that the POB were safely aboard a Coast Guard Patrol vessel. 
  
  I approached the Coast Guard vessel to pick up the operator. Once I had Operator aboard my vessel I proceeded to gather information that led to the vessel taking on water. 
  
  Operator advised that he was anchored and fishing from the vessel. The waves were approximately 3-4 feet and the vessel began to take on water. Operator don his lifejacket as the vessel was taking on water. Operator stated he called for help over Marine Channel 16 and advised his vessel was taking on water. 
  
  Coast Guard was the first on scene and took the person off the vessel that was taking on water. Operator stayed aboard Coast Guard vessel and waited for a salvage company that Coast Guard called to go to the scene and salvage the vessel. Operator did state that he had a functioning bilge pump onboard and all safety equipment aboard his vessel. 
  
  There were no injuries as a result of this accident.
