What's your go-to lure around rocky areas? I usually prefer crawdad imitations, either crankbaits or football jigs with a creature trailer. Sometimes a live crawdad will do the trick if the water clarity is bad.

Weightless Tx-rig or Wacky rigged Flukes, Senko, Trick Worms and creature baits/ craws. Use the lift and fall method (lifting the bait and letting it fall) each time it touches the rocks. Frogs and Top waters work well around rocks early and late.
Silent cranks work well because of the sound reflecting ability of rock formations.

Squarebill KVD 1.5 in Sexy Shad to find 'em.
Pumpkin & brown Booyah Jig with Zoom Super Chunk in pumpkin to find the rest of 'em.
Once in a great while I'll throw a 5" Pumpkin/Watermelon Senko.
And of course, when they're not biting, I try everything else in the boat.
Good fishing.

Kinda depends on clarity or time of year. Right now a spinnerbait or crankbait later into summer probably a buzzbait first thing then a wacky rig or shaky head.

Hard to go wrong with a crankbait...anytime you have rocks you can always bounce a crankbait of them and catch fish.

I've done very well with mushroom shaped jig heads with craw type bodies for small-mouths on the Mississippi.

A split shot rig with a Rattlesnake or Fluke.
A Bomber 4A or 6A Crankbait.
A Flick-Shaked Trickworm.
A ShakeyHead RattleSnake.
A Ledge Busting Spinnerbait in at least 3/4 oz.
Buzzbait and Spooks if there is some chop...otherwise Yellow Magic if it has to be on top.

anything you want to throw really. Spinnerbaits, jigs, t-rig, dropshot, shakey head, crankbait, c-rig, topwater and jerkbaits. Time of year, water clarity, and other factors can narrow down the selection from there but certain times of the year everything works.

Cranks for me. OR, totally live crawdads, should getum.

Love cranks around those areas too. Sometimes soft plastics seem to do the job on windier days too, mainly from less light coming through the water on clear lakes.
