If you’re aiming to fully complete Fishing Inc, the achievement list is actually pretty manageable once you understand what’s grind and what’s just timing or hidden triggers.
This guide breaks everything down so you don’t waste time figuring it out mid-run.
Catch X Fish Achievements
These are your foundation achievements.
You unlock them by simply playing:
- Catch 1 fish
- Catch 10 fish
- Catch 25 fish
- Catch 100 fish
- Catch 500 fish
Important Tip
You only need 500 total fish to complete this entire set. No tricks here, just consistent fishing.
“Caught Them All!” Achievements (Completion Goals)
These require filling out your fish index.
You’ll need to catch:
- Every fish in the game
- All Uncommon fish
- All Rare fish
- All Epic fish
- All Legendary fish
What Actually Matters
- Upgrade your gear steadily
- Switch locations when progression slows
- Higher rarity fish usually appear later or under better conditions
This is more about progression than luck if you play efficiently.
Close Call (Timing-Based)
This one is very specific.
- Catch a fish at the very last moment
- Not just low time, but almost zero
Easy Method
- Let the timer nearly run out
- Then spam click or hold input right at the end
Some players use fast clicking methods to make this easier.
You Just Blanked! (Free Achievement)
One of the easiest in the game.
- Start a day
- Catch zero fish
- Click End Day
That’s it.
Did You See That? (Passive Unlock)
This one is RNG-based.
- It triggers during a random in-game event
You don’t actively farm it. Just keep playing and it’ll eventually pop.
Not a Fish (Hidden Interaction)
On any map:
- Look around the lake edges
- Click on animals or objects outside the water
Interacting with one triggers the achievement.
Double Trouble / Hat Trick (Upgrade-Based)
These require specific upgrades.
Double Trouble
- Buy Double Drop Rig
- Catch 2 fish at once
Hat Trick
- Buy Wide Net
- Catch 3 fish at once
Once you unlock the upgrades, these will happen naturally.
Kraken Slayer (Endgame Achievement)
This is your final challenge.
- Reach late game progression
- Catch the Kraken
No shortcut here. Just play through until you reach it.
Fishing Inc is one of those games where 100% completion looks intimidating but is actually very straightforward. Most achievements come from just playing smart and not missing the easy ones.
Once you combine upgrades with efficient fishing, the rest falls into place pretty quickly.
