RedactedNarrative: Two subjects were fishing in herring creek, just off the james river in charles city county, virginia on the evening of sunday, may 19, 2019. The vessel was anchored near a duck blind on herring creek. At approximately 1800, Subject1 was standing on the rear casting deck of the 16 ft. Jon boat and was casting under the tree adjacent to the duck blind. During the course of Subject1 fishing the vessel's stern, he fell overboard and into herring creek. Subject2, who was fishing from the front of the vessel, heard Subject1 state that he was in the water and then observed Subject1 go under and not resurface. Neither party was wearing a pfd, nor was the type iv utilized. Subject2 stated he tried to untie the boat anchor to get to Subject1 but could not get it untied fast enough and lost sight of Subject1.
