(BRIGHTON, ON) – On May 10, 2014 Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a call with respect to a male who was going fishing and had called a friend by cell phone as he was in distress somewhere in Presqu’ile Bay in Lake Ontario.

OPP went to an address in Brighton at approximately 7:24 pm to speak with the caller for details about his friend who had left in a red bass boat to go fishing sometime earlier. The caller told Police that his friend had hit some rocks and he did not know where he was on the water. The caller believed that his friend was headed towards Weller’s Bay and that the boat was sinking but had lost contact with his friend’s cell phone.

OPP resources were about to be dispatched to begin a rescue operation when information was received that the male had been rescued by some passing fishermen and taken to residence on Carter Road near Barcovan Beach in Quinte West. No injuries were sustained by the boater, just wet feet. The boat was removed the following day.

Chief Superintendent John Tod, Regional Commander of the OPP Central Region said in a media release on May 6, 2014 “caution and responsible boating must be exercised at all times of the year, but with a delayed start to this year’s boating season, there is no place for compromising safety especially when it comes to water related activities”.
