RedactedNarrative: On Sunday July 19th, 2020, Operator 1 was operating a 1998 Stingray runabout on Dale Hollow Lake. At approximately 1649, she was travelling Northwest from the main channel on Dale Hollow and was entering the Long Brach area. At the mouth of Long Branch, there is a ledge that sticks out when the water levels are lower. On this date the ledge had just started to come out of the water. 
  
  The operator was entering the mouth of Long Branch and did not see the ledge. The vessel struck the ledge, causing damage to the hull of the vessel. The vessel started to take on water. A passerby saw the accident and helped the family to shore. The vessel was tied up to the rock ledge and had a significant amount of water in it when I arrived. The Clay County Rescue Squad was on scene when I arrived. The rescue squad was assisting in getting items from the vessel, while I spoke with Operator. Individual 1, from Dale Hollow Marina, arrived to assist in pumping water from the vessel. It was determined that the boat could not be pumped out and we could not tow the vessel without it sinking. Tow USA was contacted by TWRA Dispatch and communication was set up between Tow USA and Operator 1. The family were transported to Dale Hollow Marina by Individual 1. The vessel was secured to the ledge until Tow USA could arrive, which they did the following day, July 20th, 2020.
