L’amorçage est interdit

English translation: Ground baiting forbidden

Fisheries / angling
French term or phrase: L’amorçage est interdit
This is from a list of fishing regulations for a certain area. The full rule reads as follows: "L’amorçage est interdit (granulés, amorces spéciales truites…)."
I've found the word "baiting" in English for amorçage, but am confused as I would presume it would be very difficult to fish without bait. There again, I'm no expert! I'm wondering if it might have a more specific meaning. Any help much appreciated!

English translation:Ground baiting forbidden
Explanation:
ie throwing bait on the water surface "Groundbait is a mixture of various natural ingredients, for example fishmeal, bread crumbs, vanilla sugar, hemp seeds or oil,[2] maize and other ingredients, which are then moistened with water and formed into balls. These balls are then cast into the water at the fishing spot." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundbait

agree  Didier Fourcot: The bait at the end of the hook is called "appât" in French and aims at actully catching the fish already there, "amorçage" from ground or boat is dispersed in water and aims at attracting the fish in the area
