Water temps are low to mid 70's. What should I be using?

I'm thinking big bucktails for sure and maybe mid-sized crank baits.

How 'bout rubber - is it Bull Dawg time yet? Pounders?

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished
I have always been one to downsize in the early season... But this season has me a little perplexed. I moved two fish on opener on soft tail glide baits (6inches). But since then I have only been able to move fish on DBL 13s. The 10s aren't even working for me right now. Granted I am fishing in Metro MN apposed to IL. But for whatever reason BIG baits is all that I can move fish on right now.
