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
