On 11-11-2023 I Officers responded to Dreher Island in Newberry county in reference to a grounded vessel call.  Upon arrival we made contact with the operator of the vessel, who stated that he and the two occupants put in at Koon Landing and headed towards the Dreher Island tournament ramp to check in for the fishing tournament.  

He was having a hard time seeing due to the poor weather conditions.  Around 5:43am the vessel struck ground and would not move, and then the boat began to take on water.  They were picked up by a passerby.  No injuries reported.
