Lightning and fishing don't mix - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The kids rod was crazy. Glad we don't much lighting here on the coast in so cal. Lived in the outer banks of NC for a year. Lighting is the real deal back there. Storms rolling off the ocean n every body runs for it. I got caught in one out on the marsh on the south end of Roanoke Island. I was the highest point for a mile around. No where to run or hide. Laid the rods down in the yak, laid down in the marsh grass, and just chilled with the rain beating on me. 1/2 later storm had moved on and I went back to catching red fish. Mike
