Thread: Capsized boat at Hurricane

What in the world happened? What kind of boat was it? Who was the guide? Glad nobody got hurt.

I haven’t heard about this yet

Happened this past Sunday. Call came in at 630. We were out there cranking at piney and never knew it was going on. Waves were rolling 10 mph wind. Usual day on Sardis. Boat had a topper on it. Looked to be white aluminum. Pics are fuzzy. 150 Yamaha.

Sunday the 7th? I was out there on the 7th from around 5:30/6 AM till around 1 PM and didnt see anything, but we didn't go that far up the lake. We put in at the damn and started trolling on the south side of the lake from just before Clear Creek till just passed Toby Tubby creek and then we crossed over to the north side of the lake and worked our way back to the damn. We actually thought the water was pretty calm for Sardis.

War eagle black hawk. Neil Hillard. Not 100% sure yet, but filled boat on trailer and no leaks. Plug was definitely in. He ran to his spot put rods out on back, went to front and did rods and when he turned around had water in floor. 15 seconds later transom went down. Shortly thereafter, boat rolled over. Everyone was fine and without a scratch. That said, boat is trashed and lost a lot of tackle, wallet, phone, rods etc. what didn’t get damaged in the sink/roll got damaged in the tow and haul out. Bent/torn t top, bent and torn rod holders/carriers, both power poles bent. Cable to roll bent hull and cracked it some. Im sure electronics are toast. I’m guessing the boat is totaled.

Actually maybe we did see that boat. I saw a white center console with a topper go by us off in the distance not long after we had our lines out and it was headed towards Hurricane, I thought it might have been Feelay at first and joked to my brother in law that we should follow him. I never saw any type of rescue operation or commotion on the lake but I guess if nobody was hurt there wouldn't have been any.

He filled the boat up with water on the trailer?

I didn’t understand that either. I hope someone figures out what happened so we can all be aware.
