The operator of the 23ft Key West vessel, Cameron Neil, was injured during the collision and transported to Sacred Heart Hospital for medical treatment. The following individuals: Talyn Faulkner, 25, of Raceland, La., John Lyle, 28, of Houma, La., and Rayford Reeves, 34, of Schiever, La.


Looking like Neil has passed away.

I would be curious if you know anything more than what has been reported.



Yea from what I'm told there are details from the accident that are being skewed.

I am curious what those are.

It will be months before much comes out from law enforcement/justice system.

I am not against needing a license to operate a boat. Just pointing out it does not stop bad decisions. I had to take the course so I could operate a boat when I went to fish a tournament on Guntersville. The test was so easy I cannot seeing it preventing just about anyone from passing.

Yeah, whatever I saw yesterday, I cannot duplicate with the same search. I should have copied it. Sorry for any misinformation.

It’s an online course so anyone can pass it. There are way too many people going and old who can’t operate a boat. And these boats will go 70 plus mph now

I hate those frickers. Especially when they can see you're obviously fishing, but whether someone is or not, slow the hell down.

I just figure those types have really tiny members.

They understand wake. They put up with the idiots who plow, and/or come off plane. Zero self-awareness.

Blowing by people is dangerous. It doesnt have anything to do with wake.

This is a vague statement. So many variables. Standing alone, it's false.

The salt ditch is 2 miles long north-south, zeta way I am going to idle 2 miles south hen its full of boats AND a navigation channel. I will wave you on if I’m fishing a channel just so you don’t stop on top of me or plow.
