Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:46An exposed drop at the boat ramp makes launching the big boat awkward.
- 4:26Fishermen warn of a sandbank blocking the river mouth, forcing a change of overnight plans.
- 7:40High tide lets the crew leave the river and travel along the coast towards their next fishing spot.
- 15:30A dead battery in the rain prompts an improvised jump-start using auxiliary batteries.
- 18:50The upstream hunt reaches a rock bar; the big barramundi encounter unfolds with sharks circling nearby.
The boat ramp ends in a sharp drop into rocks and water. Jase isn't turning back: "Now, you don't pull a boat like this up to the Cape without putting it in the water."
All 4 Adventure's latest Cape York Rediscovered episode has drawn around 35,000 views in 21 hours, putting it on course for more than seven times the channel's usual first-day audience. After the muddy approach to Bathurst Heads in the previous episode, Jase, Simon and Mitch are chasing barramundi around Kowanyama on Cape York's west coast.
Launching is only the first obstacle. Fishermen near the river mouth warn them about a sandbank blocking the way out. By dusk, the crew have exchanged their onward journey for swags and a fish dinner. "So, that didn't work at all. That tide was way too low," Jase says.
High water opens the route the next morning. They head along the coast, establish a beach camp and unload gear to make more room for fishing. The episode also includes a short promotional segment for a CampBoss swag.
Then a dead boat battery in the rain adds another job before they can get upstream. Auxiliary batteries get the outboard running again, and the eventual barramundi hunt comes with sharks circling the boat.
Among the fishing talk, viewers keep returning to Simon's presence: several single him out, with one pointing to his habit of finding the funny side when the trip gets complicated.

How good is A4A with Simon in an episode? Such a cool, laid back demeanour, and seems to see the funny side of every situation.
Cheers lads.
