I have seen Blue Ringed Octopus in a kids rock wading pool at Avoca Beach on the NSW Central Coast,it freaked me out ,couldn't take my eyes off it ,sent the wife to pull the kids out of that pool pronto! As for catching Occys .Saw an old fellow many years ago who had the oddest technique .He had a gaff hook on a pole and would walk around a rock wall with lots of holes in it at low tide. He would rub the back of the hook on a rock near a likely looking hole and......out would pop an Occy to see what was going on,quick as a flash he would gaff it. I saw him do it at least 10 times and it worked every time <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
