Handyman: does the entire fight need fists?
Destructoid reports that weapons can lower the Mutated Bowhead Whale's health, but the final blow must use empty bare hands rather than a gun or brass knuckles. Steam's achievement description only says to defeat the final boss bare-handed, so treat the final-hit interpretation as attributed guidance and retry the whole fight unarmed if the current build does not award it.

Reported guidanceHow to defeat the final boss with your bare hands in How to Fish — Handyman achievement ↘How to Fish — global achievement roster ↘In co-op, choose who will attempt the bare-handed final blow and check each player’s award afterward. Destructoid says all lobby members receive credit; an August 27 Steam commenter says only the finisher did in a seven-player lobby. Kingy has not tested the current build, so do not count on shared credit.

Bean: prepare a route before racing
Bean’s listed objective is to finish the game within one hour. Easy’s is to kill a boss within ten seconds. They are separate achievements.
Rehearse navigation, shopping and hand-ins first. Do not build a timed attempt around old unlocked-island travel or a self-damage assumption. The progression and kill-strategy guides explain those patch conflicts.

Collection is not the same as a single rare catch
Steam lists Collector as finding and killing all creatures, and Fishipedia as finding and killing all Drip creatures.

Do the strange cleanup after the ending
A version-1.0.4 completion guide reports that the ending returns the player to Lighthouse with owned gear and all five route islands open. Its recommendation is to leave collection, fast kills and trick-shot cleanup until then.
Reported source · Charlie Pork / Steam Community
Reported guidanceHow to Fish — All 28 Achievements + Post-Game Route ↘Before relying on that state, finish the ending, save normally and confirm your own radar and inventory. The report predates the current patch and is a planning shortcut, not a recovery promise.

Fly the boat and bait a seagull
For I’m the bird now, Woofi’s community guide says to place Dynamite under the boat; comments report variants including putting it inside. Move away before detonation and treat boat safety as unconfirmed.
For Everyone’s dream, a 1.0.4 completion guide reports placing a fish beside Dynamite, backing away, waiting for a seagull to descend and shooting the explosive. This is an attributed setup; exact distance and current trigger reliability are unconfirmed.

Burn a miniboss; plan the green bet
A 1.0.4 route pairs Yummy in my tummy and Competitive eating: defeat a Beginner Boss Lure miniboss, cook it until the inspect multiplier reaches zero and the creature is visibly burnt, then eat it. Recheck the objective names and readout on your build.

Millionaire by staking an item large enough that a reported 35× green payout could later sell above 100,000. Use the money guide’s current-build warning before gambling anything important.

Use Tab for Collector and Fishipedia
The completion guide describes Tab as the creature encyclopedia, with ordinary and Drip entries tracked separately. Use blank entries as the to-do list rather than repeating every lure blindly.
Reported source · Charlie Pork / Steam Community
Reported guidanceHow to Fish — All 28 Achievements + Post-Game Route ↘Use the archived 1.0.12 49-name journal tracker as an older collection reference. Corpus excluded Bing Bong from that list, but the 1.1.0 Islet update added creatures and a mini-boss; confirm current completion in your own in-game journal.

The author recorded the route on 1.0.4 and explicitly says prices and mechanics were not fully retested. Steam displayed an incompatible/removed banner during inspection. Patch 1.0.5 supersedes its island-skip route, and a comment conflicts with its co-op Handyman claim.
