Three fishermen were rescued by a local fire department after their boat capsized near the Port of Coos Bay bar on Tuesday evening.
The U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release that the 38-foot fishing vessel Pacific Miner had three men on board. Crews began searching after finding a capsized boat Tuesday evening on the jetty.
An air crew and two boat crews searched for the men, and pulled them out of the water around 8:30 p.m., according to the Coast Guard. The men were safe, but were cold. The conditions when the boat capsized were 8-to-10-foot breaking waves and about 4 miles of visibility, the Coast Guard said. The boat also had about 300 crab on board.
A local fishing shop, Basin Tackle Charleston, posted video of the rescue.
