I use 6" Berkley white grub on either a bucktail or standard bottom rig - weight attached to 3 way swivel at end of the line and then a 30" leader with grub on hook at the end.

Loc: Phila , no, eastern shore va
I like a bucktail baited with a gulp twisted tail and a dropper loop about 18 inches above with another gulp minnow.
Check out YouTube. John skinner flounder for some interesting viewing. You’ll learn a lot.
Tight lines!

Done both of those. Also use a double dropper rig with Gulp swimming mullet. Change off on the color too.

Small egg sinker on main line with a snap swivel on the end. Attach a 12in. leader to snap swivel with no. 2 hook. Hook through mud minnows eyes. Sinker drags over fish, fish sees minnow, fish on.

We used to fish the guts at San Luis pass s. end of Galveston island using a weighted cork with sinker and leader just dragging bottom. When the cork leaned over wait a couple of seconds and it was flounder time. If not cast back up stream and do it again worked well

Hi, these are two of my favorites. The basic drift rig, may be the same one as OldSalt mentioned. Sometimes I lean more to the fish finder rig. I'll also put a small float a few inches above the bait to keep it off the bottom. Especially if the crabs keep eating the bait. John Skinner has many YouTube videos on catching flounder. And some nice underwater video's of them.

In the northeast, the answer to that is "it depends".
Summer flounder (Fluke) are large mouthed ambush predators, while winter flounder have small mouths and grub along the bottom for invertebrates, worms etc.

One additional factoid: if you live pretty much north of Wildwood N.J fluke are fluke. If you are south of there then they are flounder. The lines can get a little blurry in Jersey which is considered normal there.
