Where have all the flats gone only a few years ago there was an abundance of flounder and dab now theres very few, well certainly on the east coast anyway. Any ideas?

Low pressure keeping them in deeper water maybe?

I've fished a few spots that always threw up a couple of flounder and so far I haven't had a touch from 1

few ok flounder turned up sunday night - pressure rising over next few days should improve things
