Jazman,
I have never fished Manly, however I have occasionally seen people squidding off various jetties along the main boardwalk with some success. They were there in the late afternoon and they had a few squiddies. They weren't particularly large specimens, hoods perhaps a foot to a foot and a half, so I'd suggest your friend starts with smaller jigs around those areas.
Another plan would be to get a harbour map of all the wharves. Many of the wharves serviced by the Sydney Harbour Ferries are renowned squid spots, and your friend may well be able to ride a ferry from Manly to most of those locations.
On the other hand, if your pal has access to a boat, there are plenty of squidding grounds not far from there, particularly in the middle harbour areas. Tell him to get onto the fishnet website and do a trawl through all the old chatboards for some boat locations.
Best of luck,
monkeyman
