When you shamelessly post your dating profile picture on social media to find some bites.

"Yeah, I'm fishing in public. So what?"

channel fishing

The act of searching favorite stations for something good on TV. Differs from channel surfing in that the numbers are entered in directly to the remote, not arrived upon by repeated clicking of the + or - arrow.

After channel fishing his hot spots for 35 minutes, Chris finally gave up, and went to bed.

sock fishing

When you try to find matching socks in the dryer. Oftentimes you find a sock you like but finding it's mate can take a long time of dipping in to the batch and fishing out less liked ones.

"Sorry I'm late for work. I couldn't catch a thing sock fishing."

"Honey, I'm starting more wash because the sock fishing pool has dried up."
