A missing boater on Lake Winnebago is safe, after he was able to grab onto his pontoon boat.
David Daniels of Texas was out fishing yesterday morning, and he didn’t return.
Winnebago County Sheriff’s Lt. Steve Brewer says Daniels fell out of the boat while he was trying to lift the anchor. He says Daniels was wearing a life jacket, and that likely saved him.
He says the man was able to hold onto the boat, and they drifted to the eastern shore, in Fond du Lac County. He ended up near a home, and someone living there found him this morning.
Daniels wasn’t hurt. Rescue crews spent the night searching Lake Winnebago for him.
