Stuart,
Hello there. I have not had the pleasure of catching one of the pool caught sea trout, but they do certainly exist. Behind the Balivanich Airport there are a number of pools at low tide that trap the sea trout in until the returning tide. There are some pretty amazing photos of them in the photo gallery.
I am stumped as to who would be a great authority on this one, I hate to admit it, but if I did know I might not be inclined to tell you as I am not a very nice person really and I get extremely frustrated when people catch fish and I don't. What I can tell you is that they are fished with sand eels on a trace, or using conventional sea trout lures.
It was a local priest that first brought my attention to this method, one of my friends fathers seems to be quite an expert at catching them with a fish at 8lbs!
You could live life by the seat of your pants, go to the D.I. or Creagorry and bring with you an O.S. map and I am sure someone will point you in the right direction. Although I have not heard of anyone specifically fishing for them in Grimsay, It is fair to say that North Uist, Benbecula, Grimsay and South Uist have a wealth of migratory fish in the sea pools, causeway span/inlets and the shores themselves. The pools that are exposed at low tide between Grimsay and North Uist and Benbecula, look prime suspects for sea trout.
