Academy
 

I get the joy of going to Academy in Lafayette this evening. Anyone know if they have Corkeys? Or any advice on a good substitution? Colors?

I was there Sunday but didn't go in the fishing lure section. I picked up enough in the clothes section and didn't need to spend anymore money lol.

they had a limited supply on last friday

Went on Saturday and their weren't any. But u never know they just pop up. At least go check.

Next best thing is a bomber

Bomber, broke back? What color?

Academy in Houston on 45 North just inside the Beltway had a good selection of Corky's this afternoon. Bought two originals, silver and chartreuse, and three fatboys, silver, chartreuse, and strawberry. Got my fix for the year. Now I just need me some of those melon head sized-Costa's.....

or catch 2000

i may be wrong but i dont think they sell any good colors of bombers at academy...

:eek::eek::eek:...You should be ashamed of yourself....:*****::*****:

W swears by the mirrordine....:)

i called mirrolure yesterday, they said they shipped out a order yesterday of the corky's to lafayette , i went about lunch time today and picked up a few mostly the clear body with silver flakes and chart. on the back end

Baton Rouge Academy has them at the airline hwy location they only had 4 colors.

Can you tell where on they keep the Corkeys?

I've got a pink one.......20 buckks cash money and ill deliver it anywhere in laffy. .......

Well I usually at least walk through there and pick a couple things that I either don't have or that I'm low on but after I spent an hour in the Columbia and Under Armour section and had a bunch of clothes draped over my arm, I didn't have the appropriate extra funds to load up on fishing lures too lol.

I heard that! They had some bad azz under armour hunting pants in there other day regular $150 on sale for $70. Smallest size though was like a 40" waist. I was chapped!

That's one of the things I bought, they had a bunch of different sizes though. Everything from 32s to 40s was on the rack. There must have been about 10 or 12 pair left. I'm talking about the thin ones though, not the insulated ones. I got a pair of those pants and a camo long sleeve UA thin shirt, new long sleeve Columbia shirt and a pair of Columbia shorts for right at $170.

Yeh i bought some UA shirts. they had a long sleeve green one with camo down the sides was only like $20. and i bought a fishing shirt. im gonna have to check on those thin pants. i was looking at the insulated ones.

Man those thin ones are super comfy. They're gonna be awesome to wear while bow hunting in October. That's really what I bought them for.

academy in lake charles got a shipment in this morning if anyone is interested. they had about 30 left when i left at 10:00 this morning.

Academy in BR off Airline had a very select few. I got the LAST Pink Fat Boy (limits for sure now)! Also, they had a few fat boys left in the Strawberry/white tail.

Lake Charles Academy had a buttload of red and white Corky's tonight.

Academy on Siegen in BR still doesnt have any, I was there about an hour ago. I wonder why they dont have em out yet?

I find the one off Siegen sells out a lot quicker of the regular fishing and hunting items compared to the one off Airline. I guess location has a lot to do with it. Also, I called Superior Bait and Tackle and he is waiting for them to come in.......Have you checked BASS PRO or Cabelas..

Bass pro or cabela's dont have em. I usually go to academy at least once a week and have never seen one. the spots on the shelf is there but no corky's. I guess they are selling out that fast!

Gander Mountain doesnt have them either......

Academy in Houma has a few. My truck guided me into their parking lot as it tends to do with just about every hunting/fishing store I pass by. I figured I would see if they had some. They had a few left on the racks so I grabbed 3 to try the latest craze and a few other things while I was there.

Those devil eyes work well I use the jerk jr they are almost the same.

Longside looks like you had another high $ Academy trip.....BTW,I will give you $75 for those 3 fat boys.....:*****::*****:

I figured why just spend $170 when you can spend $200, just doesn't make sense to me lol.

O and about the 3 fat boys.....SOLD!!!! I accept checks and cash!

The Academy in West Houston (Westheimer & Hwy 6) finally had Deadly Dudley Terror Tails in stock. I bought a few packs of them. I didn't see any Corkies. I saw plenty of the Brown Devil Eyes and Flappin Devil Eyes in stock. I also picked up some of the H&H Shrimp that look exactly like the DOA's also. It looked like they were putting their Spring Inventory out.

No TTF Stingray Kits and Jellyfish relief stuff out yet. I asked the manager about them and he had never heard of it. I told him to look on their web site and that I was told by TTF it would be on the shelves in late February. I guess the shipment hasn't arrived yet. I'll probably order it online.

One of the guys at Academy in Lake Charles said they usually put the boxes of Corky's on a rolling table at the end of an isle and people pass by and take them. What's left, they put on the hooks. He said they don't have to work so hard. But he did say the red and white are not selling like the pink ones did.
