You can use the same for flirting
"voy a tirar la caña a ver si pica alguna" means "I'm gona to cast the rod (and see if a girl bite )"

We use cast the rod to see if anything bites in employment situations or sale of property but with the word rod you need to be careful because it can be seen a really vulgar in English when the subject of flirting comes up, because rod in some instances means penis.

PS Sosia, I have hear a related phase in English to what you said its: fishing for a good time starts with throwing in your line
