Sad to say we had another drowning down our way today. This time in the beautiful reflecting cesspool known as Capitol Lake.
Guy was fishing for kings from a boat when he went overboard, not to be seen again. It is unclear if both guys were actually in the boat at the same time. Dive team was not able to find him since an entry point was not known. There doesn't appear to be any witnesses.
They are going to wait for him to pop up in a few days if they don't get a better location to look for him. Sounds callous but it's a little pointless and extremely difficult to locate someone when there is no known entry point and it is a big lake. It will horrify a few folks since there is a very popular jogging trail around the entire lake.
If you guys think the cracker shows are bad in some areas, check out the Capitol Lake Cracker Fest when the Kings are in. It's like a whole line of Larry the Cable Guys. They throw everything but the "Dupont Spinner" at em'. Snagging is not frowned on, it's judged on how far can one throw a chunk of lead with a big treble (Buzz bombs preferred) , length of mullet and how rotten a fish you can retain. Quite entertaining.
