Squid fishing or ‘Eging’ as it is called, has a technical side to it that may surprise you. Callum McKendry fishes with the experts from Yeehaa tackle to find out how easy it is to catch a calamari. Standing at the water’s edge at the Tamaki Yacht club on a cold winter’s night, I was ‘Eging’ (squid fishing) for the very first time.

It is darker in the morning, rain seems to be more frequent and I find myself thinking, maybe it’s time to invest in new wet weather gear. These compounding factors mean only one thing to me, winter is well and truly on its way.
