Suggestions / Re: Bait not req for fishing? Really?

The anglers do use fishing bait, which I don't know English name for, which is thrown into water BEFORE fishing, and even if they don't want to fish on a particular day. It is used to keep the fish nearby and make them less skittish in future. This uses more baiting substance than actual fishing. But if the engine would support this - I doubt it.

This is called 'burley' in English. A good source of burley is the guts, etc., of the fish you caught and cleaned yesterday.

In US english it's called 'chum' or a 'broadcast bait'.  After the advent of the movie jaws most everyone in the US associates chum with baiting sharks, but canned corn is often used to chum for bluegill and trout, and a strong scented dough ball bait may be broadcast for bottom feeders like catfish, carp etc.
