I don't know of any octopuses that would be easy to catch in NJ. I grew up going to the Jersey Shore during the summers (Barnegat Bay area, between seaside and pt. pleasant), and regularly fished and crabbed the beaches, lagoons, bay, and Manasquan inlet. Alas not once did I see or hear of an octopus being brought up. Every once in a while you might find Amphiocotpus burryi coming up with the gulf stream. Some local divers might have a better idea about this. Good luck!
