Texas rigged is a weight right against the hook. The hook is buried in a
plastic worm, so the worm is straight and the hook comes out of the worm and
then is hooked back in to the skin of the worm, making it weedless. The
Carolina rig is same hook, but a geavy weight, then a swivel and then 15-20"
leader to the hook. Carolina rig is probably not great in BC, as it is for
muddy, silted in bottoms.

Now, back
to these lakes you will be on, are they deep, and do the banks drop off
fast, or are there quite a lot of shallows? Any guess on the water
temp?

The ones illegally stocked with bass are all pretty shallow, less than 10
meters deep at the most, with lots of shallows 1-2 meters (with lots of
vegetation!).

Water temp this time of year? Probably around 10 C, obviously warmer in
the shallows and cooler down deep. It's too bad this "fish-in" is so early
- these shallow lakes get over 20 C in the summer.

BTW: Several others have mentioned "Texas rig" and "Carolina rig" - can
someone describe these, please? (I get the feeling they'd both be illegal
he we're mainly single-barbless hooks in freshwater)
