http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_fishing

Lobster traps are rectangular-shaped boxes made out of wire mesh coated with tar. A trap must have in it a 2 3/8 × 11½ inch-sized escape hole to allow under-sized lobsters to escape the trap. Every trap must also have a "self-destruction device" to allow its door to fall open after it has been out too long. Traps are sunk to the ocean bottom with weights and are baited with dead fish or cat food. Attached to every trap is a buoy labelled with the letter P followed by the license number of the fisher who has set the trap.

fishing...

Explanation:
...using whelk, lobster or crab pots/traps

You'll never hear a fisherman say "I'm going potting" but a gardener does hide from his wife in the potting shed!

As far as I know, there is no exact equivalent of the term "pêche au casier" in English.
