How to unlock the Fishing Master achievement in Persona 4 Golden - Definitive Guide

Long not very clear process:

First you need to unlock the beach by taking 3 long rides in your bike
Try to fish and the game will tell you that you cain't with your current rod
talk to the old man fisherman by the flood, and ask about fishing at sea, he will tell you that if you catch the lake guardian he will give you his rod.
in order to fish for the lake guardian you need to have the jewel bettle and fish on a rainy day.
show the lake guardian to the old man will give you his rod and talk about the sea guardian.
on a rainy day you need to fish at the beach with a genji beetle, if you see big waves coming off your bait it means you have spawned the sea guardian (its not a guarantee spawn so you have to save scum, a lot).

Catching him is hard, the fishing book doesn't make it easier, btw, my suggestion is to use the d-pad to maneuver and mash A when you have a blue opening instead of holding the button, will take around 1-3 minutes to reel.

Seems to be a very rare show up rate, but if you keep recasting your, line it resets what fish is lured.

A few things to note.
1. You can buy 3 Genji Beetles from the Sunday TV show in August.
2. When you see big waves with "water splash" coming off your bait is when you got the guardian. Otherwise, it's a tuna.
3. I got it on date 9/2 during a thunderstorm and it was very easy. It took me less than 20 seconds to reel it in. I'm playing on Very Easy NG+ don't know if that matters.
4. The Expert Fishing book can help you reel it in faster by pressing Y when prompted.

*MISSABLE*

Catching the infamous Sea Guardian is actually part of maxing out all Social Links and unlocking Legend of Inaba (35G). In the Hermit Social Link tree - AKA the friendly fox who lives at the Shrine - when you get to rank 9, to max out rank 10 you’ll have to catch the infamous Sea Guardian (the requirements for all the other 9 ranks can be found HERE).

However, this is definitely not straightforward and you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Let’s run you through them:
  • First things first, you need to get the fishing rod. 
    • Talk to the old man down by the river in the Samegawa Flood Plain and get the fishing pole.
    • Then, visit the boy at the Shrine (from June 4th) and speak to him during the day.
    • Return to the Shrine at night and talk to the lady in white. Answer “Yes” when she asks a question. You’ll now have the net (this is what you use to get bait).
    • Catch a Tatsuhime Ladybug.
    • Visit the Shiroku Store at night and give the hostess the Ladybug. You’ll receive a hook. Now you can fish.
  • You’ll need access to Shichiri Beach. You can do that by getting access to the scooter (June 9th) and driving long distances 3 times.
  • Buy and read 3 books: Beginner Fishing, Catching Bugs and Expert Fishing (all 3 will make things easier). You can read the World Class Bugs if you haven’t done this by early November.
  • Catch the River Guardian during rain. To do so, catch a Inaba Jewel Beetle (appears at night at the Shrine). Talk to the old man. Then, visit the sea, then return. Receive Deep-Sea Rod.
  • Catch Sea Guardian during rain (or snow) using the Genji Beetle (another night-time bug) - keep an eye out for the ginormous ripples. 
  • Achievement unlocked.
