RedactedNarrative: Operator #1 stated that he was sitting at the helm when he noticed water entering the transom.  Before they could do anything the vessel rolled over. 
  Witness #1 and #2 statements concurred with Operator #1's statement. 
  Investigation at the Scene Revealed: 
   On this date, Vessel #1 was drift fishing south of the Ocean Drive Bridge in Beach Thorofare near the Great Egg Inlet located in Egg Harbor Twp, Atlantic County.  The upwelling and rough water conditions were due to the incoming tide and the numerous vessel traversing the area and also drift fishing.  As Vessel #1 was drifting, water began to enter through the open transom from the water conditions causing the vessel to become swamped.  This caused Vessel #1 to roll and capsize sending all 3 occupants into the water where they were immediately rescued by an unknown passing fisherman/boater. 
   Tow Boat US arrived on scene and righted the vessel and then towed the vessel with its occupants to Vessel #1's home port of Somerset Cove Marina in Egg Harbor Twp. 
   Inspection of Vessel #1 showed no damage from a collision and I observed the open transom design. 
   No injuries were reported or observed at the scene.
