Thursday's search for three missing boaters was suspended at sunset, but search efforts will continue Friday.

The boat for the Obion County Central High School bass fishing team was spotted Saturday morning on surveillance going through the dam, and was found Monday morning. None of the three who were on board have been found, and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency officials said Wednesday they were shifting their emphasis from rescue to recovery.

The man in the boat has been identified as 43-year-old Kenneth Driver. One of the boys is reportedly his son. 

Twenty boats and 50 volunteers searched 50 miles of the Tennessee River on Thursday, with an emphasis on the area between Pickwick Dam and the Savannah Bridge 14 miles away, where the damaged boat was found. Units conducted surface and sonar scans in attempts to locate the missing boaters.  Helicopters have assisted with searching on the Tennessee River near the dam.
