Overview: about southern sand octopus
Clever and soft-bodied, southern sand octopus are a rare catch in southern waters. They can be coaxed out with small bait or lures worked slowly near reefs and structure in 5-20m. Not typically targeted, but can be a bycatch for those fishing for other species in SA and TAS waters.
