i'm still young and stupid. i was even more so when i younger. my mother would drop me off at whitmans pond at 6am on her way to work in the summer. and there i would stay till 8pm. every day. with nothing but a bottle of water and bag of chips. many days storms would roll in and there i would be knee deep fishing. nothing better than a storm to bring out those lunkers. honestly i will still fish in a thunder storm. with my rod tip very very low... side arm casting. but there is a point where even i will (and did when i was younger) say "hey this is a bad idea." and i think from what you described i would have been off that jetty with the first crack of thunder. now that i'm older i have the luxury of fishing from inside a car during those..
