Winter Boat fishing - Octopus, Cuttlefish and Squid are great eating and also wonderful winter baits for all manner of species - Cod, bass, rays and eels you name it. It's great to enjoy a little bit of time on the boat as the winter sunshine.
For those who are interested, here is are links to some of the tackle I was using:
Daiwa SL30sh - bit.ly/2MZF9yZ
Ugly Stik GX2 20-30 - bit.ly/2MVdRK4
Braid - Powerpro - bit.ly/3bBNfIi
Squid Jig - bit.ly/3Vcg1E2

There were so many things I enjoyed in this video, from the gorgeous morning weather, the octopi you were catching, even the superb use of a Monty Python reference. But the piece I loved the most was seeing those dolphins that followed you along. I backtracked over and over to those sections. They were beautiful & they even seemed happy with their own catch. I know they may have been a tiny bit pesky to you but I'm so glad you capture them on video for us to admire.

Ahh... cuttlefish. Of the three species you caught, those are my favorites. I cook them the Algarve way, fried in olive oil with plenty of garlic and fresh finelly chopped coriander, served with boiled potatoes sliced in half and sautéed on the same oil where you fried the cuttlefish. It never fails! They are also great charcoal grilled. Trust me, I'm portuguese. ;) Great video as usual! Keep em coming!

When you crush barbs for cleaner release you can also bend the hook in (similar to circle hook) but not so much, and that helps to make it hard for fish to spit hook.Ive never suffered less hookups by doing this. CHEERS ( Great sea conditions)

I have eaten all three species often and love them as food, but as in many other areas of life I am a bit of a hypocrite because I don't think I could take an octopus out of the water and take it home to eat or use as bait... I have a problem with the ratio of its intelligence/life expectancy of one year. I buy squid as bait and use it without a qualm... Strange, isn't it ?

The Octopus population in my local area is exploding and causing a lot of damage to shellfish populations.

@@TheFishLocker honestly I'm an aquarist who works with octopus on a daily basis, but I'm all for catch and eat/bait, some species spiral out of control due to our actions. They are intelligent and cute but like you said, too many cause an upset of the ecological balance.

I make a great Greek inspired octopus dish. Slow cooked for a couple of hours with garlic, onions, tomatoes, and lots of red wine with a touch of cinnamon. The octopus tenderises beautifully.

@TheFishLocker 3 года назад

- I liked the sound of that till you said Cinnamon. haha. 😊
