RedactedNarrative: On June 2, 2021, Vessel One was being operated by Operator 1 on Cross Lake in Caddo Parish.  There were two people on board Vessel One.  At approximately 16:30P Vessel One was maneuvering to a different fishing spot when it collided with Vessel Two.  Vessel One was traveling between 10-15 MPH at the time of the collision.  Vessel Two was adrift at the time of the collision and was not under any mechanical power.  Vessel Two had one occupant on board and he was sitting in the stern of the vessel fishing.   
             Operator 1 stated his passenger was sitting on the front deck of Vessel One and he was talking to him as he was moving to a new fishing spot when he collided with Vessel Two.  Operator 1 stated he never saw Vessel Two prior to the collision.  Occupant stated he yelled at the operator of Vessel One prior to the collision in an attempt to warn him.  Occupant was thrown from Vessel Two during the collision.  Occupant stated his back was hurting him and was checked out by the Shreveport Fire Department and refused to be transported to the hospital.  
             Vessel One hit Vessel Two on the starboard side towards the stern of the vessel.  The console of Vessel Two was damaged and separated from the vessel. Vessel Two also had several scratches and transfers on the starboard gunwale.  Vessel One had a large dent on the keel and several scratches and one gouge on the port hull of the vessel.
             Alcohol and/or drugs are not suspected in this incident.  PFDs were on board both vessels, but not used in this incident. Pending further investigation, I believe the contributing factors of this incident were Vessel One's: (1)No Proper Lookout, (2)Restricted Vision, and (3) Operator Inattention.
