Hello, Im New Here

I have fished bootleg once but its been a few years ago. I've managed to get a a couple fish out of mineral fork around the 17inch range. I love to fish mineral fork but access isnt always good. I used to park by 47 bridge and wade that area but the last time i did(about 8 years ago) i was ran off...well i say ran off but i wasn't doing anything illegal i just would rather not deal with the hassle. I'm still trying to break the 18inch mark on a smallmouth myself.....i call it chasing the bronze lol as far as joachim goes, i've fished it around the park in desoto an managed a few smallies around 15-16 in length up stream from the park. I pulled a decent largemouth out joachim around the same size on a shakey head. Joachim seems to be filling up with spotted bass big time but i always manage a few smallmouth when i go.

I have a friend with property on MF so my access is private. Ive parked at 47 several times, the kingston family owns most the land around there and they will run you out if youre not in the water. And yea I wade joachim from walther park in desoto, its decent wading downstream to fountain city rd, and prettt good upstream quite a ways.

And yes joachim is definitely getting overpopulated with spots
