PLEASE HELP: If you have cameras in Back Water Jack's Cove I was involved in an (not my fault) accident yesterday and they left the scene.
Yesterday at 4:27pm at the 18mm nearly in front of BackWater Jack's Cove I was Towing a disabled vessel when a BLACK Tritoon with a Black Hard Top, and a Iowa Hawkeyes Flag flying off the back came up along our port side and altered their course to cut between the vessel I was towing and myself. Every one on my boat and the customers behind me were SCREAMING and waving at the top of lungs as I was blasting my horn with my RED/BLUE lights on and they didn't change there course and ran my tow line over. It cut the end connected to my customers boat however, they started dragging me sideways and thankfully I keep a sharp knife on my tow post for this exact reason. I cut the line just as my boat was being rolled sideways. The ones that crossed my line quickly freed their prop and bailed into Back Water Jack's cove. I was just notified by the Water Patrol that they could not locate the boat. All people on my side are OK, these people were drunk idiots and owe me a tow line and need to reevaluate their boating abilities. If anyone witnessed it please reach out to me. I was in to big of a hurry to make sure my customers on their boat was OK and not injured to get a photo and my lady in my boat was on the phone with water patrol and didn't get a photo either. They entered BackWaters Cove around 4:30pm with 6-10 people on board. Our call to Water Patrol was 4:28pm and they went straight in.
PLEASE STAY TF AWAY FROM BOATS BEING TOWED!
BLACK TRITOON: BENTLEY, BENNINGTON, MAYBE HARRIS with Hardtop.
WHITE Outboard
Hawkeyes Flag.
6-10 People middle aged to older.
They entered the cove and turned around and left. Got some camera footage but to far away for numbers.
