: Meaning of the phrase "gone fishing" or its origin. Does it just mean gone out for a while or has it another meaning as well?

It was a song sung by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby in the 40s and 50s. It signified a way of getting away from the hundrum, routine of life and doing something interesting! Whether the title was original, or used a recognised phrase, I know not. Others may.
