LAKE MONROE: MISSING BOATER BODY | WFTV
Looks like they found a body today & the other man was holding on to an over turned boat.
Hope no one knows who this is??
By the picture on the website, it looks like they went out of Enterprise.

Yes, all the shallow FL lakes seems to get nasty quick with some wind.
Thoughts & prayers to the family !! I surely wouldn't want it to happen to anyone but hope all the crappie.com guys made it home safe yesterday.

The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"SpeckledSlab LIKED above post

I scratch my head sometimes.... Saw an elderly man and woman Saturday in what looked like a 12 Jon..... He was standing and she had his hand for balance.... You guessed it NO PFD! That wind ain't nothing play with. So sad! So useless! Prayers for the family and friends...

Man rescued during search for missing boaters on Lake Monroe
Looks like in the video, that the survivor had a PFD on.
Slab and BillBob probably saw this boat while the men were fishing.
Seems like they found the body about 2 miles west from the enterprise ramp.

Very sad news...my heart really dropped when 1st reading the title because before Skeet & myself came in Saturday, we could barely make out someone yelling from the enterprise area, just as a boat was heading into the ramp. Thought the boat going in had something like a fish stringer over the side or something & somebody was trying to let him know. However, it continued when the boat reached the ramp & we were just about to pull rods & check it out when another boat in same area headed over & we heard the yelling stop...either way a tragedy for Monday...have seen manatees out there recently that could turn over a small craft on plane very easily, another sad reminder to be careful out there...prayers for the family
crappie down !

I knew something happened. Lake Monroe Park was closed and full of 1st responders when I came home.

Pass the "Sportsman Baton" on before you're gone, promote values for others to hunt and fish upon.

Very sad for sure but I'm not surprised that it happened, yesterday the ole girl was about as rough as it gets. After parting ways with Slab and BillBob I headed back out and took a wave over the bow before I could clear the bridge fenders. That was all it took for me to ignore the slow zone, hammer the throttle down and turn back.
Prayers for family and friends of this poor soul and I hope all Crappie.com members are safe and accounted for.
I looked but didn't see, have they released a name yet?
