Two fishermen required rescue Monday after their boat was disabled in Saginaw Bay, according to the Huron County Sheriff’s Office.
Huron Central Dispatch received a call around 1:20 p.m. on Monday, May 12, reporting two fishermen with a disabled boat, west of Heisterman Island on Saginaw Bay in Fairhaven Township.
The caller advised dispatch that one of the fishermen, a Cass City man, had dislocated their hip while trying to restart the boat.
The Huron County Sheriff’s Office, armed with their airboat and assisted by the Caseville Fire Department, headed for the Mud Creek Public Access and out onto the water. The injured man was taken back to shore, and taken via ambulance to Scheurer Hospital for treatment.
The other fisherman remained with the boat until the United States Coast Guard arrived and towed him back to Bay Port.
