Divers searching the lake bottom found the men, Richard Kinnan, 21, and Jay Raubenstrauch, 22, about 1:30 p.m. Saturday. More than 100 local, county, state and regional response agencies worked together to find the men’s bodies.

Both were found in shallow water near the Linesville Boat Marina.

very sad news. Any information on how they went in in the first place?

Not sure. The only thing we know is that they were in a 12 foot flat bottom boat. We saw the rescuing efforts going on today, as we had our monthly fish-together at pymy.

It was a very surreal and uneasy feeling out on the lake today.

They went out on the lake, when we were having the high winds around here on Monday. Another guy drowned up at Presque Isle Bay on Monday also. When will people learn that high winds arn't a boaters friend.
