Ice Fishing, Trapping, and Tech with Wheezy Outdoors

In this episode, the guys are joined by Justin Wiese of Wheezy Outdoors for a laid-back conversation covering ice fishing, trapping, and winter life in northern Minnesota. Justin shares what he’s seeing on the ice this season, from strong panfish bites to tricky ice conditions caused by warm weather and pressure ridges. They dig into modern ice fishing tools like LiveScope and Vexilars, how technology can save time when fishing with kids or guiding clients, and why responsible use matters. The conversation also covers bobcat and coyote trapping, predator dynamics, ice shelter setups, heaters, trout fishing on stocked lakes and the Gunflint Trail, and what it takes to keep winter outings fun for the whole family. It’s an honest, experience-driven discussion that feels like a fish house conversation—full of practical tips, stories, and Northwoods perspective.
