Although catching octopus with chicken feet sounds like a joke to you, it is totally possible. And we will tell you how to do it, so pay close attention to this article.
How to Fish Octopus with Chicken Leg
Octopuses, a peculiar animal that inhabits the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, are undoubtedly one of the most coveted marine species.
Octopuses are characterized by their voracity, since they feed on almost everything they find in their path. And curiously, they have a weakness for white and bright colors, therefore, this attracts them easily. Therefore, if you have noticed, the pulperas are made up of a white board.
In this sense, a chicken leg, correctly placed, either in a garabeta or pulpera, is as effective a bait as any fish or crab.
The chicken foot, leaving the nails and all, can look like a crab. Its striking yellow color is what makes it so attractive and appetizing for octopuses. It has also been proven that it is a much firmer bait than any other, so it is quite effective than conventional baits. Thus, it is an extraordinary option to fish for octopus.
To fish octopus with a chicken leg, you must place the chicken leg correctly knotted in the pulpera or garabeta. If you don't have a pulpera, you can make your own with a scallop or marble shell, which is obviously white or shiny.
After having placed the chicken leg as bait, if you use a pulpera, drop the pulpera into the water until it reaches the bottom, or the rocky crevices. Wait patiently for the octopus to attack, and firmly raise the pulpera.
Fishing octopus with chicken feet is that simple.
