4WD 24-7's Cape York fishing trip starts with a sprint

Fishing water that's NEVER been fished 🎣
How long does it take to get a bite? For the fisherman in the tan shirt, barely enough time to finish counting down and cast.
4WD 24-7's Cape York Short begins with fish visible in clear, shallow water beside the mangroves. Then the rods start bouncing as both men hurry across the sand, each determined to reach the bank first. "Gotta beat your mate," says the man in tan, neatly explaining the sudden urgency.
The upload, titled "Fishing water that's NEVER been fished 🎣", has passed 200,000 views in a little over a day, far beyond the channel's usual Shorts audience. The description bills the creek as previously unfished; what the clip shows is an almost immediate hookup.
The fisherman brings a mangrove jack onto the sand and holds it up for the camera. Yet much of the comment section is about the journey to the water rather than the catch. Viewers keep mentioning the rod-in-hand dash, with some recognizing their own inability to pass a promising fishing spot without stopping.
For a channel whose Cape York adventures include roof-deep river crossings, this particular scramble needs no four-wheel drive.
