On 4/24/2023 TWRA was notified of a boating incident that had taken place in Marion County on 4/21/2023 on Nickajack lake. The reporting party had stated that after a severe thunder storm while him and his fishing partner were fishing at Mullins Cove the waves began to get too high and were starting to come over the sides of the boat. The operator stated that he took the vessel to a private and covered dock nearby to wait out the storm. While they were waiting out the storm that water that was already in the boat began to be too much for the high winds and waves that were present during the storm. The bass boat sank in the boat slip but the two occupants were able to get out of the water without any injuries being caused.
