RedactedNarrative: On March 17, 2019, at approximately 3:30, Wildlife Agents were contacted about a boat sinking on Big Creek in Deville. I, Sgt., arrived on scene and made contact with the operator at Woodson's Landing.  He informed me that he and his wife went to take her boat out and forgot to put in the plug.  
  
  They made it just around the curve in the creek and noticed that the boat was taking on water.  He jumped into the water to try and plug the boat with a stick but was unsuccessful.  His wife, the owner of the vessel, called a friend for help.  The boat continued to take on water and eventually sank.  They held on to a tree and were aided by a passing boater.  They did not utilize any PFD's which were in the vessel.  No alcohol or drugs are suspected.  The vessel is a 16' Bayou Cajun with remote power steering. Pictures were taken of the boat at the scene of the accident.
