Sgt. Benoit Jolette says the bodies of a 45-year-old Bathurst man and a 67-year-old man from Salmon Beach have been recovered.
He says a 47-year-old Salmon Beach man was rescued and taken to hospital with hypothermia.
Jolette says it appears the fishing gear was snared at the bottom of the bay and a wave overturned the boat.
