Default Grand Lake
There was an accident in the lake today and the LDWF, Sheriff dept, commercial fishermen and CG are searching for a missing boater.

Just a thought to pass along. Everyone needs to be aware of the areas they travel by boat. Also know what your boat can handle when it comes to seas. Also wear a PFD when in such conditions for a better chance of making it in the event you are thrown in the water.

No, this is south of Lake Arthur in Cameron Parish.

Been hearing updates on kaok 1400 am. They basically said the search has turned into a body recovery. Prayers to the family.

I tried to call my uncles, who were out running crab cages, when this all took place yesterday but haven't been able to get in touch with them. I am thinking they are helping in the search again today. If I hear anything I will pass it on.

This is just my opinion, but a life jacket will not necessarily save your life, it is designed to help you to save your own life. If you are knocked unconscious you don't have a chance if your face down in the water. I know of a few people that have drowned with a life jacket on and it just made them easier to find.

No matter how much you prepare for a trip and take all safety precautions, when your number is pulled there is nothing you can do.
