Hey folks, soz if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but for anyone who needs to get this trophy, done the math and feeling a little daunted by the time it will take to catch 1000 fish, I'd just like to offer some advice. The best spot for getting to 1000 as quick as possible, is the small pond at the back of Panda Market in Bailu; location given as a reward for the soccer ball quest. Because of it's small size, the cast time is quick, fish bite fairly quickly and, most importantly, you can reel them in super quick with just the right stick. I managed to catch 35 in one session, 15 more than when I was elsewhere. I know it's still a slog to hit 1000, but ~70 per day (over 2 sessions) is far better than ~40-45 per day.

Hope this helps some of you and again sorry if this has been mentioned in the fishing thread, but I thought it deserved one on its own so people don't have to fish for this info.
 
Found it myself, but pretty good spot. My session record so far is 39 and the daily record is 95.

Strategy:
- Wake up and run to fish place (Don't use quick travel - costs ~45 in-game minutes)
- Start fishing... (at around 8 am)
- While fishing, make sure to move the rod slowly towards you. This makes fishes bite faster, and if well-timed, they bite very close to the end of water and so you can instantly pull them in.
- at 12:00 am, get rod again and start fishing
- at 2:30 pm, cancel fishing and quickly run back, get the rod and start fishing again.

at 7 pm you should have 90+ fishes (and be up to 2k$ richer)


In Niaowu there is a similar small pond in Senary Road left side of the shrine. Don't know if it's better or worse, though.

The counter for this trophy of how many fish i captured, is this separate? Or connected to one of the save games that I have? Unfortunately I don't have the little lake fishing spot in Bailu, I didn't find the soccer ball. I will eventually start the game new to get the soccer ball. And all of the fishing locations and so on. Some of Those trophys are a pain in the ass. 😅🙈

I have not once fished in Niaowu. I’m an idiot and must address this.

Your not an idiot. But yeah, all you have to do is rent fishing equipment in one of the stands and then go look for a fishing spot, the ones with the big signs.

I dont know if it's just me but some of those places get "locked" out sometimes, especially when there's too many npcs around making it not possible to fish so be on the lookout for that.

Besides some of the signs aren't always has obvious has they should be.

Oh I am an idiot. But the main reason I’ve not done it is I have very little time to play games, and being as I’ve generally got plenty money by the time I get to Niaowu, never happened.

Yeah tbh fishing in that game wasn't really my thing, not that I didn't like it but I found other activities more fun. I mostly made my money on my early runs chopping wood and now it's all about the fighting tournament since you can make massive sums of money just by completing the tournament over and over then doing the whole token exchange thing.

Each save file has its own counter for how many fish have been caught during that specific playthrough. If you’re playing on PC, you can use Cheat Engine to find the address of this value and change it to 999, then just catch one more fish to unlock the achievement.

I know this is technically cheating, but after spending hours unlocking the trophy legitimately on PS4, there was no way in hell I was about to do it all again 😂
