Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) enforcement agents recovered an overturned 12 foot flat boat with trolling motor, ice chest and various other debris related to a boating incident this morning, Aug. 1 near the Hwy. 11 bridge.

Dang, where do you even start if they don't k ow if anyone was on the boat? Prayers for the anglers (if there are any missing)

passed by there this morning, two CG helicopters, 2 sheriff boats, a few sheriff cars, and two WLF trucks. The boat was sticking out the water just about 150 yards west of the south end of the hwy 11 bridge. hope for a positive outcome, but hard to imagine one.

You are playing Russian Roulette when you fish Ponchartrain in a flat boat.
