Hey Scubadiver,
I have seen and caught occys on prawn style squid jigs, normally as a very welcome by catch when targeting squid. I think the 'pot' or wide PVC pipe, closed at one end with a weight works well for occys, but it is like a crab pot, got to let them sit for some time. Baiting them is probably a good idea as well. I have not tried this techinque but a mates (Greek) father is always getting good occys here in Melb Australia using this techinique.
I might have to get the fine points from him some time.
Hope this helps,
nala
