I'm still getting an occy every second or so trip out, anyone else pick one up now and again?

Not me mate - but I've got to ask - what do you do with them??

Bait, food, or what?

I'm quite partial to barbequed Ocky legs - as long as they're tenderised first;)

One of my best mates is a Greek/Cypriot so he gave me the good oil on occy's years ago!

Beat the sh*t out of them on a handy rock and then rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub and then rub them some more on sand to take of as much skin as possible, then put them in a plastic bag o'night with a cup of chilli sauce in as well.

When you BBQ them because of all the sand rubbing, they stay a much nicer white, rather than the red they go when cooked with the skin on.

Octopus are extremely fast growing and short lived 18months to 2 years tops, so its one aqautic animal that I regulary take for a feed.

And they are definately squidgey chompers.

Even my two young sons regulary catch them on SP's.
