4-26-2021. Bluegill have started to move onto the shallow flats and beds are beginning to appear. Lots of small gills being caught on wax worms with floats and jigs. No gills worth keeping yet. The bigger bluegill have not moved in. Jeptha has been hit hard with fisherman taking everything they catch and over their limit of bluegill many times so the bluegill population over the years has definitely gotten smaller. DNR was aware so come on guys practice catch and release! Big gills are deep and seem to be staying there.

10-10-21 Jeptha has some great pike but they make you work for them and seem to get active in the cold water. Started with slow worked white double willow blade spinnerbaits at the east end of the lake. Picked up a 22 inch pike over the weed beds where it goes from 12 to 6 feet. Switched to a deep six Megabass and worked a bit deeper. Caught my personal best at 15 feet over another weed pile.

6-30-2021 Went out with my lew's pro wally marshall crappie rod 7'0 casting for crappie. Small tubes slowly worked at the ledges over dropoffs worked well. Jeptha is typically a minnow lake for crappie so it was great to see them hitting jigged tubes on a warm sunny day. Crappie were sitting around 15 feet deep, also found them at buoy chains for docks and floats
