RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated in effect: We were fluke fishing right next to the jetty, when the engine hit the rocks. I tried to reverse, and it must have punctured a hole in the hull. The boat took on a lot of water and capsized.
  
  Investigation Revealed: Vl was drifting in the Barnegat Inlet near the northern jetty in Barnegat Light, Ocean County. The lower engine unit struck a submerged portion of the northern jetty prompting the operator to attempt to reverse away from the rocks. As a result of reversing in rough water Vessel #1 took a large amount of water over the transom. This large amount of water caused Vessel #1 to quickly capsize entrapping Victim #2 and Victim #3 inside the vessels forward cabin. The remaining occupants exited the vessel prior to the capsizing and were removed from the water by responding USCG vessels. As a result of this accident vessel #1 sustained severe damage to the cabin roof from striking the submerged rocks while capsized.
  
  Upon our arrival on scene: I entered the water and secured a towline to the capsized vessels tow hitch in an attempt to pull the vessel away from the rocks. Sgt. was able to maneuver the vessel away from the rocks utilizing SP V2901 until other assets arrived on scene. Once the vessel was pulled away from the rocks members from the Barnegat Light Fire Rescue entered the water and swam under the vessel and safely removed Victim #2 and Victim #3. All occupants were then relayed to USCG Barnegat Light to be treated by awaiting FA. Victim #1 was transported to Southern Ocean County Hospital by Barnegat Light FA for further treatment of possible hypothermia. All remaining occupants were treated on scene and refused further medical attention. Vessel #1 was removed from scene by Boat  and transported to Long Key Marina where it was removed from the water.
