I had a similar expirience about twenty year ago at la jolla while fishing a 16 aluminum boat.
We were ishing when a thunder torm moved from south bay directly at us.There were a few strikes around the entrance to mission bay and it was coming our way so we had to sit it out.Not enough fuel to run north.
As the storm approached one of our fishing rods started crackling and buzzing!We all just got a low a possible in the boat when a bolt struck about 1/4 mile away.....and there wasn't any tp available in the boat!

very spooky!But we all lived.
