DNR: Search for missing fisherman in Lanier will be sporadic this weekend

By B.J. Williams

After more than two days of searching, authorities have yet to find a missing 38-year-old fisherman in the waters of Lake Lanier.

Mark McKinnon, spokesman for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, said searches this weekend in the area of Little Ridge Park in Forsyth County may be difficult.

"The schedule may be erratic this weekend as we will likely have to dodge the bad weather," McKinnon wrote in an email.

Nick Schimweg was one of two men on board a bass boat that collided with a cabin cruiser around 5 p.m. Wednesday. The body of the other man in the bass boat - 59-year-old Brianislav Pravich-  was discovered Thursday afternoon.

The three occupants on board the cabin cruiser sustained non-life threatening injuries.
