Another blank ;( had a couple of rattles but nothing worth striking a, probably just crabs. Let's hope there's a few more more fish about in Scotland! Set off in half an hour

You defo need crab, preferably fresh for channel, if you let me know next time your going to fish it, I can get you some off one of the locals that sell them, good luck up scotland

Crab is great fresh, and without a doubt would be my first choice bait for most sea fishing. However, frozen crab can and does catch fish as long as it is frozen correctly. To freeze crab you have to get every little bit of the gills out of the crab failure to do this will end up with a smelly unpalatable mess that almost any sea fish will not eat. ( well maybe doggies will eat it). I have used frozen crab many time, I found it better if you kept them frozen and put them on the hook frozen, that way as they thaw in the water they start a trail and release their juices slower. Good luck up in Scotland but most of all enjoy.
