SPIDER BOYS OF THE DOCS
There isn’t a place on earth with docks that doesn’t have a special breed of kids that, like dock rats, just can’t seem to help themselves, and are drawn to the docks like barnacles and mussels, somehow magnetized by mother nature to be an intrical part of the dock structure.
Looking more like spiders than kids, skin and bones for the most part, with legs that can leap from boats to the dock or boat to boat, climb a rope and rigging, suntanned to the bone, with the only attire being a pair of shorts and a baseball hat. It would appear to the uninformed that these children are only allowed to eat during the squaws and Easter. But most, like me, are and will be well fed. The secret behind the spider-look of these kids is simple. The brain needs countless calories to burn off in order to be able to out wit the fish. Being such a strain on the brain the body stays skinny, starve off calories so to speak.
A few years of uncontrolled calories burning, a pattern of using what works for catching fish and not using what doesn’t work. The brain finally starts to get fed. You probably don’t believe this theory. Well, next time you go fishing, take the time to record the catches of the Spider Kids and the chunky kids, and the Spider Kids will almost always beat the chunky kids.
