Thanks so much, Capt Caleb, this is hands down the best instructional video on throwing a Corky/Fat Boy I've ever seen, even though you say "there's no (standard) right way or wrong way to throw a Corky", this demo of an excellent and fruitful retrieve for starters and practice in warm season mode until I get the hang of this one. Can't wait to feel the solid thump. I have caught several trout on regular Corkies but put them aside not trusting my retrieve at the time with confidence. Both lures have that coldwater slow reputation established years ago, to fish it slower than Christmas, "throw it out, take a sip of a Coke, twitch it, and if the lure gets back to you before you finished the Coke, you're fishing it too fast." nonsense. I understand slowing it way down in colder water temps, but this video helps shake that dogma for warmer water.
I also appreciate it. Its a highly guarded secret with most anglers. But once you start holding back knowledge and trying to intentionally hide tricks from others, that is when you are no longer challenging yourself to improve.
Thanks Paul, and Caleb I’m so glad I found you. I’m 66 years young and don’t have a lot of time to learn the Galveston bay system on my own and even though you’re in Matagorda the techniques apply. Thanks.
Thank you for introducing me to the fatboy corky....the next time I went out fishing I used it ..for the first time....and came home with a 27 1/2 in red..thank you sooo much
Made it to the end Capt. Caleb! A few buddies and I are fishing the Baffin Bay complex in the morning, and you can bet a corky is going to be tied onto the end of my leader line. Tight Lines bud, these informational vids are spot on!
Thanks Paul. I fish Aransas Pass. Lots of grass. Since it comes with trebles and it's subsurface, I generally can't throw it much because I'm constantly fouling in the grass. Recently I put 2/0 Owner replacement hooks for topwaters on several of them and I think that will make a big difference in cutting through the grass. I'll definitely fish it more like a topwater now. Thank you.
Thanks, my boss just gave me a few corkies and ive been wanting to try them, i just didnt know where to start of how to work them. This video cleared up a lot of questions i had
Thanks Paul and yes buddy jumping that run typically does help because when I was first fish and cookies I would do that right tip up action and Miss lots and lots of fish
Good video, my best trout on Fat Boy's has been when I stop focusing on what I am doing and start looking around , usually in a kayak and bam you get the thump and I know that she's big , head shake, weight and it's on !
I had to get in a good bite, put a corky on, and use it to catch fish to build my confidence in it. It’s hard to leave something on when it’s new to you! Been there!
Thanks Paul for making a killer bait! I’ve know about these for a while but not really how to fish them. Will be going this weekend, hopefully they’ll pull me a big trout!
Thanks Paul, and thanks que capt caleb. Hands down the best tutorial and informative videos. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Always room to learn more. Thanks again
Thanks Paul! Thank you Capt for the video. I've thrown corkies a handful of times over the years, but never had much confidence. That's probably the reason my PB speck is still under 25". Needless to say all my corkys are about to get the oily stuff wiped off and I'm going to start tying them on more often. I've always been a redfish guy, but I'm really wanting to up my game in the trout dept. You're making some great content. You'll be sitting here with 100k subs sooner than later.

I was at carbodys in san luis pass fishing and i was using corky broken tail no luck. Went to fatboy nothing. Changed to mini dine bone color with yellow down it back 3 diffrent baitfish keep following it. Man i got 3 good size trout and a rat red. this happened after i bent the back down on it. Have a good one.
Thanks Paul! Capt, thanks for the good videos. The wife is starting to chunk lures and I guess it sounds like I speak French when I try to explain how to work em, your videos help her understand a lot and I’m picking up a lot of new stuff too. Thanks man!
Thanks Paul and Capt. Caleb. Lure selection on what to start with is still difficult for me. I have not had a chance to fish my croky yet. Just purchased mine and it is summer 2021.
Thanks for the info. I actually like the lure but have not had any luck as of yet... Will definitely bend the nose and tail down and try working it like so.

I have NO idea why TH-cam flagged this comment! I just saw it today. Thanks so much for your contribution!
I also appreciate it. Its a highly guarded secret with most anglers. But once you start holding back knowledge and trying to intentionally hide tricks from others, that is when you are no longer challenging yourself to improve.
Thanks Paul! Had a heck of a day on the water... Slow bite and no one catching keepers. Pulled out my Corky for the win!
Thanks Paul! Just found your channel but have subscribed to follow your great content. Thanks Capt!

Made it and thanks Paul. I’ll give corkys hard baits and top waters another try. I’ve only caught fish on plastics.
I had to get in a good bite, put a corky on, and use it to catch fish to build my confidence in it. It’s hard to leave something on when it’s new to you! Been there!
thanks Cap'n! this was really informative stuff.
Thanks Paul! I need to fish more, so much new stuff to buy and try
Thanks Paul and Capt. Caleb......preview before a speck yak tournament tomorrow is south Mississippi. Great info...

Just bought my first Corky and thanks to your video I can’t wait to try it out using that method.

Thank you for the information
Awesome lure, Thanks Paul
Wow great description and explanation man! Thank you! Never gotten a hit but then again I wasn’t using correctly.
