Whats the least painful way to get the fishing achievements?

[Lil Femboy Toes]

Doing them normally seems like it might take months to do. 9 times out of ten im using up all my bait without getting the quest fish. Wondering if there's some sort of exploit or just anything to make doing these quests go by faster.

Haven't tried it myself but Builder's Workshop has all the quest fish. Hypothetically you could get the Angler's quest, give him the fish, sleep until the next day, and repeat. Would probably still take a bit, but more like hours instead of days or weeks.

get an endgame fishing kit and a world with ponds in each biome, use the piggy bank trick to get multiple quest fish in a day, move all those fish to a chest in spawn next to the anglers house, then log on with as many new characters as you can, hand in the fish and repeat with the next character, i could get about 35 in one ingame day but fishing setups may vary

Journey mode.

You can force the next day to start. You can fish up enough quest fish to register them in the builder menu etc.

If not looking for exploits remember the following:
Your fishing power is mostly your rod+ bait + fisherman armor/fishing accessories. But it is also the size of the body of water you're fishing in. The larger the "lake", the better your chances.
If you get seaweed, cans or boots - your fishing power is too low.
The fishing accessories are great, they will give a chance to not consume bait, they will prevent line break etc.
If your fishing power is too low, grab the demonite/crimtane fishing rod, get some fishing potions, use the chum bucket etc.
Also the Luck stat helps some with fishing, so bring a garden gnome and all the usual for luck.

you can use beds to speed up time 5x when sleeping, I did that in the end. It took around 3-4 playthroughs

It doesn't need to be a piggy bank but it's smoother for the next part.

So, once you get the quest fish, you can't get a new one because the game checks if it is in your inventory.
However, if you place the quest fish in a container, such as the piggy bank or any other personal storage or a typical chest you can still get more of the quest fish.

With 5-10 quest fish in the chest, grab them and teleport back to the Angler and put them in a chest there (if you use the piggy bank then just place another piggy bank in the Anglers' house to transfer them to the chest.). Grab one and turn it it. Leave the world, enter it with another character, grab a fish and hand it in. Rinse and repeat.

That way you can get 5-10 progress for a in game day. Because you still need to wait for a new day to get a new quests.
