RedactedNarrative: On July 27th 2019, I Officer with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Division of Law Enforcement responded to a boating accident that occurred on the Anclote River. I arrived at the Port Tarpon. Operator2 already had his vessel out of the water. Operator2 stated while operating his vessel in the Anclote River he slowed down for the idle speed zone near marker 16. At that time the stern of his vessel was struck by another vessel. Operator2’s wife was also onboard. Nobody was injured, and the operators exchanged information. Operator2 showed me the damage to his power pole, engine cowling, and fiberglass. I photographed the damage. 
  
  I met with the other operator at Captain Jack’s in Tarpon Springs. Operator1 stated while operating his vessel, Operator2s vessel slowed down and another vessels wake pushed him into the stern of Operator2s vessel. Operator1 stated his vessel sustained a minor scratch to the bow. I photographed his vessel. I issued Operator1 a citation for careless operation.
  
  I used my agency issued BWC during the interactions. At this time, I have no further information or involvement in this case.
