[quote name='nala' post='17641' date='Feb 24 2010, 02:25 AM']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,

Hello Nala,
I've heard some people pour some cement in the large PVC pipe, and sink it over night to catch octopus.
Here in the Pacific Northwest in Canada, we have the world largest North pacific giant ocotopus. Some of them weigh over 60 Kg!
The fine points from the Greek father would be much appreciated! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />
Cheers, Sean
