RedactedNarrative: On Saturday, October 16, 2021 at approximately 1400 hours Maryland Natural Resources Police, was dispatched to a boating emergency call in Jones Creek. Upon arrival at Old Bay Marina I observed a US Coast Guard vessel working with a submerged vessel that only had its bow sticking out of the water.
  
  I was then able to contact the vessel owner with the information provided through dispatch. After speaking to the vessel owner, I met with him at Meehan’s Marina in Jones Creek.
  
  OP1 informed me that he had been fishing for white perch in the mouth of Jones Creek when his vessel began taking on water. He then manually switched the bilge pump on and let water pump out. The vessel was taking on water at a rate greater than the bilge pump could pump out and the vessel began to sink. OP1 said that he was whistling and making hand motions until 2 people on board a vessel came and helped him.
  
  I then obtained a witness statement (attached) from OP1.
  
  All events occurred in Baltimore County, MD.
