I find that I get more sucess fishing for flatties (flounder and plaice) using a weight that slowly moves on the sea bed. I often use a ball bullet or light watch lead. My theory is it throws up mud and sand attracting the fish!
Using plenty of attractor beads and spoons, even a glow stick often improves the catch rate. Have a look here for more tips on Flounder fishing and here for using beads on Flounder rigs

Mid March for early fish. Small sand eel work well in deep water sand marks!
