The lake i will be fishing at has a big rock in the middle with a flagpole on top. It goes down into the water, i dont know how far. What would be the best to fish around this with?????

Cole,
Whenever faced with rock, I always think crawfish which makes me want to throw a crawfish colored crankbait. Crawfish love rock so do bass. Second choice would be a brown on brown jig and pig. Third choice, plastic crawfish or worm, Texas rigged. Good luck, Johnnie.

I would throw a craw colored tube jig and work all around that rock

I would personally throw a Black and Blue Jig. Then a Aurora Craw crankbait from Lucky Craft.

I would use tubes and jig combinations to work it to the fullest potential. However, as with Johnnie, it would first be hit with crankbaits to pick up the most active fish hanging out from the rock area.

As for colors, crawdad type are always good choices in this case, but the black and blue, as suggested by JT are good starting points. Switch colors with the water and sky conditions.

All of the suggestions given so far are good to follow. Even slow pumping a spinnerbait will pick up a few fish, and can sometimes be a dynamite change. The hit usually comes on the fall, as the blades start to flutter, or just as the lure is started back up on the "pump".

I'll go with the tube and have a 3 or 4"grub rigged up as well.
