fish as a verb #1 (permalink) Mon Jan 31, 2011 15:45 pm   fish as a verb		  
Hello :)

Are the sentences below natural-sounding for native speakers.

A: He got away with fishing girls in the club.

B: He's fishing girls in the club.

Could anyone give me a more natural way of expressing the above sentences ?

Hi,

It's new to me. I would say - 'pick up girls'.

Could the sentences below sound natural to native English speakers (NES)?

A: He got away with fishing girls in the club.

"got away with" is a phrasal verb. ~ to avoid danger, punishment or something similar (bad). Exempli Gratia: How do you think to get away with the situation which you are responsible for?

BTW, why would picking-up girls be considered dangerous or as a punishment?

B: He's fishing girls in the club.

Could anyone give me a more natural way of expressing the above sentences ?

Alan has given the way. Thank Alan
