How to unlock the Angler's Debut achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide
This location is unlocked in one of two ways:
- On July 6th (7/6), accept Ryuji's invitation to go fishing. This initial visit doesn't count for the achievement, you must go there again another time.
- If you did not accept the invitation, on July 17th (7/17) the book "Fishpond Spotter" becomes available from the Shibuya Central Street bookstore for ¥1,800. After reading the book the location will become available.
Edit: thank you ZombieNuuNuu for the tip about needing to actually catch a fish.
*MISSABLE*
The fishing pond is a location in Persona 5 where you can spend time catching fish in a mini-game. This trophy involves doing this for the first time.
First, you will need to discover the location of the fishing pond, as it is not unlocked by default. You'll need to read the book Fishpond Spotter or be invited by Ryuji on 7/6 to discover the location. After this, you can access it at any time from the map to spend time there.
When fishing, you'll need to throw out your line using the interact button. After tossing out the line, wait for a fish to bite. Once it does, press interact again and begin to reel it in. You'll need to hold the interact button while tilting the left analogue stick to balance the line. Keep the needle within the red area, otherwise the line will snap and the fish will get away.
The trophy will unlock as soon as you successfully catch a fish for the first time. Below is a video of the fishing mini-game:
