It was reported that the man was aboard the boat with two other fisherman when the boat sank. The other two fisherman were able to swim back to shore. The missing man was last seen struggling in the water and according to fire radio reports, he was not wearing a flotation device.

Firefighters from four counties as well as two dive teams rushed to the scene in search of the man. An initial search was called off due to darkness, but authorities expect to resume around 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning.
