This might be a really dumb answer, since I have no real understanding of how far electricity travels in salt water. But it would seem to me that if you were at risk of getting electrocuted, other than actually being struck by the bolt of course, so would the fish and there would be dead floating fish all over the place after every thunderstorm. Either way, I would get the F out of dodge if there was lightning on the water.
