Of late I’ve been spending far too much time watching YouTube and, as a result, got an itch to catch and cook some squid from the Sydney Harbour. Before hitting the water I visited BCF and purchased a lightweight rod (which I could use for squidding as well as light plastics), along with a handful …

After a cracking night at the U2 concert, we decided that it would be a great idea to meet up for a lazy lunch, and then go for a walk to get some fresh air and stretch our legs. We met up at Watson’s Bay, and ordered fish and chips from Doyles on the Wharf …
