I got hands on some Crush City Bronco Bugs and ran some docks during the day flipping a half oz weight. The big fish I saw were spooky when they saw the boat so If I had another chance at it I would downsize the weight, change the color, and try roll casting further away from the dock for the big belly ones I saw. I think it's simple: they haven't seen much of this bait and action before so act fast once you can buy them from Omnia. I found that docks near channels seemed to have the bigger fish that day, they're hard to get to if the lake is busy so go during the week if you can.
