RedactedNarrative: On June 12, 2014 at approximately 6:08 PM, a call came from FWC Officer via VHF channel 16 of a vessel taking on water and possible persons in the water in the area of 79th St Causeway. I responded to the call and was en route to the location just north of 79th St bridge and the ICW. 
  
  USCG, and Indian Creek PD were on scene when I arrived at the location. The vessel later identified as a 1994 17 foot Dougherty bearing FL registration FL 6263 PH was capsized on the first picnic island north of Pelican Harbor anchorage. Indian Creek Officer had already rescued all 3 POB's from the vessel to safety aboard his patrol vessel. Officer transported the 3 POB's to Fire Boat #1 that was on scene so the individuals could be treated and looked over. Fire Boat transported the individuals to Haulover boat ramp where the individuals had their vehicle and vessel trailer. 
  
  At Approximately 6:48 PM I arrived at Haulover boat ramp to gather information from the operator and the occupants of the vessel. The operator advised me that they were fishing between the island north of 79th St and the ICW. The operator was drifting and not at anchor when he describes a large wake approaching them and hitting their vessel. Operator1 says that the vessel began taking on water from the wake that hit. Operator1 describes the wake had pushed the vessel close to the island shore and even more water was entering the vessel. Operator1 says at that point he called 911 and then all POB's found themselves in the water and the vessel had capsized. 
  
  Fast Response Salvage righted the vessel and towed it to Haulover boat ramp to be taken out of the water by Operator1. There were no injuries to any of the POB's. Miami Dade County Fire Rescue alarm number # 5126539. 
  
  After multiple attempts of contacting the operator and passengers after the incident, I was unable to confirm if the vessel had a bilge pump and if it was operational at the time of the incident.
