Not personally but I think I remember Bob Moss talking about catching flounders on lures.

I think Jim Hendrick also mentioned techniques for catching flounder on a fly!

now that you mention it - I think the blade type rigs - mepps blade with a mono trace with lots of beads to small hook with bait on it fished slowly enough do catch flatties! I'm sure i've seen this before.
