Fishermen Swap Tips at Tampier and Monee Reservoirs

A group of anglers from Chicago, Palos Park, Oak Forest, Matteson, Palos Hills, and nearby areas share tips at Tampier Lake and Monee Reservoir. They compare baits from worms to live minnows and wax worms, discuss luck, and enjoy a relaxing day of fishing with family. Art Martinez jokes about luck and keeps a rustic rod for his son Artie as the group seeks bites and quiet leisure.
