Fishing in the Wrong Pond

When ones entire approach to trying to improve one's career and dating life is systematically flawed and unlikely to lead to any kind of meaningful progress

After getting the cold shoulder from every girl across the board and a generic rejection email from every job he applied to, Chad quickly realized he was fishing in the wrong pond and decided to work on developing his own personal brand rather than chasing others.

Fishing

When someone knows the answer to something, and they just want someone to answer for them, giving them the attention they seemed.

Mike: Uhh why is my score going so high?? All I’m doing is pressing the buttons.
Tom: You’re obviously playing the game correctly so that’s why.
Mike: Oh yeah..
Tom: Yeah you’re obviously fishing haha.

Fishing for brown trout

Lifeguard slang for seiving turds out of a swimming pool. This is usually done after clearing the pool, followed by a 1 hour break from pool use while you 'shock' the pool (i.e. dump a ton of chemicals into it and the run the filters at full blast).

I had to go fishing for brown trout today during the 'mother and baby' swim lessons. At least I got paid for an hour of playing computer games while the filters did their thing.
