FERRISBURGH, Vt. — Searchers spent Sunday combing Kingsland Bay on Lake Champlain in Ferrisburgh for a 48-year-old Burlington man who fell from a small fishing boat into the water Saturday, but did not find him, Vermont State Police said.

The Vermont State Police Underwater Recovery Team, the U.S. Coast Guard and an airplane crew from the U.S. Border Patrol took part in Sunday's search, police said. The search was expected to resume Monday morning.

The man was not wearing a life jacket when he fell into the bay at about 4 p.m. Saturday, according to a companion who was also on the boat, police said. The companion tried to find him, but the man did not resurface.

State troopers, wardens from the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Coast Guard and the Ferrisburgh Fire Department responded to the bay that afternoon. State police said there was no indication the disappearance was suspicious.

The man's name is being withheld pending further investigation and notification of his relatives, police said.

State police asked that tips that could help the search be phoned to the New Haven barracks.

The Signal reported Saturday that the Coast Guard was expected to keep searching through the night and that the state police Underwater Recovery Team and Bureau of Criminal Investigations planned to join the search and recovery operation the next morning.
