go hunting where the ducks are

Definition 
If you want to find or accomplish something, you must go to the right places, make contact with the right people, and do the right things: "The cold facts of 1988 do suggest that if in 1992 the Democrats—in Barry Goldwater's phrase—are to 'go hunting where the ducks are,' the most ducks are likely to be found outside of Dixie" (New York Times, 1991).

Proverb expressing similar meaning: fish where the fish are.
