go fishing
Try catching fish
Go fishing is to fish—to attempt to catch fish with rod, net, or other equipment: We went fishing at the lake last weekend.
Figuratively, to go fishing is to search or probe for information, often with indirect methods: The lawyer was just going fishing with those questions.
A fishing expedition suggests seeking evidence without knowing what you'll find.
