Search For Missing Boater Turns Into Recovery

The search for a man that went missing during a fishing trip on Pike Lake Wednesday in Washington county has turned into a recovery effort after a second day of searching didn’t find the man.

The 80-year-old was reported missing Wednesday night by his wife after not returning home from a day of fishing. Multiple fire department dive teams searched the water that night after the mans boat was found on the water, but he was not with it.

Crews will resume the recovery today at 9 AM.
