Slide an egg sinker on your main line of your reel then a bead to protect it from pounding the knot and tie your main line to the barrel swivel. after casting raise and lower the pole slowly on retreive.when you feel anything lightly stopping the minnow (preferred bait) stop reeling lower rod tip and wait if line starts moving away set hook. Sometimes i wait for what seems like a minute or longer.this can also be done easily walking on piers and causeways. If your try to set the hook at the first feel of a bite 24 out of 25 times you won't hook the flounder. the secret is to be very patient.
