RedactedNarrative: At approximately 12:01 PM vessel 1 was fishing at Powerton Lake in Tazewell county.  Winds were blowing strong out of the SW (20 MPH).  Vessel 1 was drifting with the wind from one side of the lake to the other while fishing.  As vessel 1 drifted towards the breakwall on the North side of the lake,  the operator attempted to start the boat motor.  He was unsuccessful and the vessel drifted into the breakwall.  Waves began to crash into the side of the boat and water began to fill the boat.  The operator of vessel 1 was able to use his sounding device and call for help.  The boat eventually filled with water and began to capsize.  The two occupants entered the water and were rescued by another boat.  
  
  Emergency personnel were dispatched to the scene and one subject was transported to the hospital.  He was released shortly after arriving.
