fishinggeek Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 With BBR's entertaining report, I'm thinking of having a go at catfishing. I've never tried it before. What's the closest location to the GTA for channel cats? Also, this might sound like a stupid question, but how can I tell the difference between a channel cat and a bullhead? To me, ugly is ugly...

Heybud_e Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 the internet is full of information, try google maybe? sorry i cant help as i dont fish for them, as u said, ugly is ugly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinggeek Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Thanks for the advice! I tried googling first but couldn't find anything close. I found Washago (Trent River) and Dunnville (Grand River), but both are a bit too far from Toronto. It's weird how far I'll go for good Muskie, Trout, or Walleye, but for cats, especially my first time trying, I don't want to invest too much gasoline at over a dollar a litre.
