Almost anything Rapala(rattle traps, countdowns, and shad raps) or similar. Tube jigs, plastic worm, spinner baits (mostly for bucket mouth), jigs (like a good flippin jig). At least that's what I have used throughout the states. I would imagine they should work out in BC.

I love bass fishing!! One of the hottest things right now are the square bill crankbaits!

I personally love Xcalibur and luck E strike lures.

Or an umbrella rig with some small swimbaits

In BC, i had some good luck with a brown jig with a light brown craw as a trailer.

Cool

with the weeds right up on top. a slow vertical fall from a tube jig can be tough to beat. any suspending crank will do well on weed edges. change up fast 10-15 casts change. next color till you get results then change style in that color. if you have access to a boat dropshoting can be deadly. using electronic 's just like ice fishing. hope that helps.
