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..

Lightning is the one thing that keeps me out of the surf. Scary stuff.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
