RedactedNarrative: On October 6, 2021, at approximately 3:25PM, LDWF Cpl. and Agt were notified of an unoccupied vessel drifting in Breton Sound towards Main Pass in Plaquemines Parish. Agents were advised and later verified the single occupant/owner was missing from the vessel and the immediate area. 
  
  Subject had left out of Venice Marina in his 1983 24ft Boston Whaler at approximately 7:00AM to fish Breton Island and later attempt to fish for tarpon. A good samaritan found the unpowered vessel at approximately 2:30PM and contacted the appropriate agencies. It became immediately apparent at some point during his fishing trip, subject had fallen overboard earlier in the day. LDWF, PPSO, USCG vessels/chopper, and multiple good samaritan vessels attempted search and rescue efforts to locate victim on October 6, 2021. The search continued on October 7, 2021 with the aid of numerous aircraft and vessels from multiple agencies. 
  
  Coordinates were obtained from the GPS system on the vessel to help with the search (including several areas of interest where agents suspect the vessel began drifting in a straight, southwest pattern at approximately 11:00AM to 5:30PM towards Main Pass). At this time victim is missing with search/recovery efforts underway. The vessel has been inventoried and with the request from his wife, turned over. The GPS system was downloaded to help with the investigation/search. It is unknown how or why victim exited his vessel. Alcohol was present on the vessel, however it is unknown at this time if this was a factor. PFD use is also unknown at this time.
