Achievement - Fish or Cut Bait

Ironforge:

The Gnomish Bait-o-Matic

Buy five (5) Shiny Baubles from Tansy Puddlefizz, who is just inside the building, where you  get the quest.
Buy one (1) hair trigger, which you can buy from the Engineer trainer in Tinker Town.  Then head into the Deeprun Tram and collect three (3) Rat Traps from around the area.  Right click the rat traps and make the Gnomish Bait-o-Matic.  Return to the quest giver.

Achievement - Fish Don't Leave Footprints

This achievement should be one of the first fishing achievements you go for.  This helps you find nodes when fishing, which will come in very handy for all other fishing achievements. Go to Northern Stranglethorn Vale and look for any wreckage in the water.  You will want to fish out of any wreckage until you receive the Weather Beaten Journal.  Once you fish up the journal, click to learn it and you will now have the ability to Find Fish.  You can turn this off and on by clicking on the magnifying glass on your mini map, the same as Find Ore, Find Herbs, etc.

Achievement - The Scavenger

The Scavenger is one of the achievements needed for the fishing meta achievement, Accomplished Angler.  This achievement is relatively easy, requires a little bit of traveling and a little bit of time. If you do not have the achievement, Fish Don't Leave Footprints, I would recommend doing that with this achievement, as you will have to fish out of the same pool.

To complete The Scavenger, you need to fish in each of the following junk nodes: Steam Pump Flotsam, Bloodsail Wreckage, Schooner Wreckage, Waterlogged Wreckage and Floating Wreckage. 


Bloodsail Wreckage:
You can find these nodes south of Booty Bay, or in the bay by Fort Livingston in Northern Stranglethorn Vale.  I would recommend Northern Stranglethorn because it's closer to where you will find Schooner Wreckage.

Schooner Wreckage:
You can find Schooner Wreckage nodes along the West coast of Northern Stranglethorn Vale, in the Vile Reef.


Floating Wreckage:
You can find Floating Wreckage along the Eastern coast of Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows.  I just flew from STV to Blasted Lands and flew along the coast until I found a Floating Wreckage node.

Waterlogged Wreckage:
Waterlogged Wreckage nodes can be found in Western Plaguelands in the water surrounding Sholomance.

Steam Pump Flotsam:
These nodes are the only ones that can't be found in Eastern Kingdoms.  The only place you will find these nodes are in Zangarmarsh.  When I went there, I found numerous nodes, in close proximity.
