Searched all over for some palegics. Nothing,Notta,Zip... Pretty day and was the only boat @ the hambone and Dog...
Headed in about 3 or so, Storms everywhere on the beach, Talking with USCG on 22 when Judith M gets struck by a bolt and I was only 4 miles from it !!!!! Lightning was all over the place, Glad we made it back safe and hope everyone on the Judith M is fine.. Seen her dead in the water about 2 miles out. Believe she had 42 Passengers......
Anyone gets out this week and does anything could ya please let me know....

You don't have to be fishing to get struck by lightening. I've seen boats in Sunset get hit while tied up at the dock. The problem is when you're fishing you're usually on the boat when it gets hit. It's a good idea to have a dynaplate and good bonding.
