I also remember "snowshoe" flounder trips on headboats advertised many years back - were they just extra large winter flounder?

Yep the "snowshoe" flounder were just big blackback flounder. Yellowtail flounder have very small mouths, so small hooks would have to be used. May be worth some experimenting, we have caught gray sole while fishing on Cox's ledge. OTOH the cunners would drive you nuts fishing with small hooks and soft bait on Cox's.
