About Octopus fishing

The basics

Size: From around 200g up to over 1kg. In summer most run about 300g.
Typical catch: Roughly 0-10 per angler. The number swings widely with tide and spot.
What it is like: You feel a bite as added weight on the jig rather than a pull. Many hookups are only noticed when you lift.

Handling: They squirt ink. Wear clothes you do not mind staining and bring a thick bag for the trip home.

Varies with the operator, season and tide.

OctopusOne for New Year

Bring the octopus you caught to the New Year table

Last 14 days: 2 operators | top rod 6 octopuses

Some Tokyo Bay operators run octopus trips right through to the end of the year. Catching one yourself in a different season and eating it over the holidays is something only boat fishing offers.

Urayasu Yoshinoya lists octopus as a June-to-December target. Rather than assuming winter always means big ones, check the size reported that day and aim for a good one. Simmered or served as sashimi on the New Year table, the trip itself becomes part of the celebration.

What the season is like

These are the last octopus trips of the year. Boiled and frozen, the catch keeps through the new year, so you can plan the trip around putting a dish of your own on the holiday table.

How to eat
