Search for missing boaters to resume on Tennessee River and Pickwick Lake

State and local officials on Tuesday morning were slated to resume a search for three people who disappeared during a weekend fishing tournament on Pickwick Lake in Hardin County.

The missing boaters, identified by the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency as two 15-year-old boys and a 43-year-old man, were part of a Obion Central High School fishing team and had been on the water Saturday for a fishing tournament.

The trio, last seen around 6:45 p.m. Saturday, had not returned home as of Monday.

Flooding: Water supply or flood control? Why was Ross Barnett Reservoir really built?

The Hardin County Fire Department and TWRA plan to resumes searching for the boaters at 7:30 a.m.

Search teams recovered the missing boat Monday morning on the Tennessee River below Pickwick Dam near the Savannah Bridge. The boat went through the flood gates and suffered "extensive damage," according to TWRA Spokeswoman Amy Snider-Spencer.
