A man was declared missing near Egegik, on the east side of Bristol Bay on July 25. According to Alaska State Troopers, Clayton Hoy, a 36-year-old from Washington, fell overboard from a commercial fishing boat, the F/V Warmaster. That vessel is registered to Guy Hoy.
The search lasted for around a day and a half before it was suspended. Petty Officer First Class Travis Mcgee says the U.S. Coast Guard coordinated the search.
“Our deepest condolences go out to, you know, the family and loved ones of the missing person, you know, during this incredibly difficult time,” Mcgee said.
