Bark of the Red Fox

[Captmikestarrett]

Last night as the golden hour approached I noticed a drop in temps. The sky cleared up quick and the easterly wind had a little bite in it. The fish turned off except for a few dumb ones to stupid to know what it all means.

As I slid the boat on the trailer and stepped into the water a chill from my feet ran up my spine. I pulled the boat and did the pee pee dance over to a small sign that another bass guide put up. I marked the sign and went back to packing the boat.

A red fox emerged from the bushes where many a chicken and rib bone have been tossed this year. He barked at me with a 3 pack a day voice or maybe he had a bone stuck in his throat. Either way I decided to bark back at him. He charged forward with in 10 yards of me and barked again. I barked right back with the same raspy voice. He went left then right and slipped back into the bushes wend-est he came.

This to me signals the end of many a very good night with many great clients.

The LGMouth for me has ended this year. Sad but yet invigorating is the next change of season. So like the last coyote or the old blind striper this old fox barked out time for a change of seasons.
