RedactedNarrative: On April 17th 2020 at approximately 1325 hrs I, Wildlife Officer 1 received a call from a Hamilton County Sheriff''s Deputy that a sinking boat was coming into Camp Dixie off of Prairie Schooner Cir. in Lakesite. Upon arriving a I noticed a sinking Tidecraft bass boat in the water while the owners were trying to pull it out of the water. I spoke with the owner of the vessel who was Owner 1 who had claimed that he had just purchased the vessel and was allowing a friend to drive the vessel when they had noticed water coming up from the floor of the boat. The operator was a Operator 1 who had claimed that she had turned the bilge pump on but it was not enough to keep up with the water coming in. She then altered her course of heading from Dallas Bay to the main river channel to head from Dallas Bay into a private boat ramp off Prairie Schooner Cir. After pulling the vessel out of the water it was evident that the vessel had a failing transom that caused the vessel to take of water. The accident occurred in Hamilton County.
