This achievement is part 1 of the secret fish achievement series.

The fish:
All of the fish for part 1 of this series can be caught within Mechagon. The catch rates are quite low (~1%) so expect to spend a fair amount of time fishing. You do not need max Kul'tiran/Zanadalari fishing. Once caught you'll auto-accept a quest to show the fish to [npc=151462], who is also on the island. Should the quest fail to auto-accept for any reason you can simply right click the fish from your inventory to start it.

Note: Below are confirmed locations and are likely not the only locations where they can be caught.

The coastal fish:
These 3 fish can be caught near Danielle, though its likely they can be caught anywhere along the coast of the island.

1. [item=167661]
2. [item=167662]
3. [item=167655]

The area specific fish:
Each of these fish can only be caught within a specific area of the island.
I've created a map to show their locations: https://i.imgur.com/Hr3Q1ij.png

Alternatively here are the X,Y coordinates for each.
4. [item=167663] - 47, 37
5. [item=167654] - 79, 49
6. [item=167656] - 65, 32
7. [item=167657] - 59, 24
8. [item=167660] - 65, 51
9. [item=167659] - 83, 72
10. [item=167658] - 25, 77

The goggles:
Once you've caught all 10 and shown them to Danielle she'll sell you the [item=167698].
You can now move on to part 2 of this series, Secret Fish and Where to Find Them!

I have also written a guide for part 2 which can be found here in the comments section of the achievement page.

Happy fishing! :)

I was fortunate to have caught all 10 in about 2 hours. Got all but the [item=167655] in about 1 hour 15 minutes, with about 45 minutes spent on the Bolted Steelhead. The other 9 fish seem to have high drop rates in specific areas, whereas, based on comments I've read, the [item=167655] seems to be a zone wide drop at a significantly lower drop rate than the others.

I've read that fishing level and equipment doesn't matter, but for what it's worth my rod was [item=133755] with +6 fishing enchant and I was also using [item=88710].

Total fishing ability was Kul Tiran Fishing 175 + 21 (rod with enchant) + 15 (hat) = 211.

Here's my journal:

[item=167658]: 25,77 (Western Spray) - Caught on 3rd cast

[item=167663]: 47,37 (The Fleeting Forest) - Caught on 5th cast

[item=167655]: 47,37 (The Fleeting Forest) - Caught on 42nd cast, or 37th cast after catching [item=167663]
(note: I had previously fished in the open water near Danielle Anglers, where many players have caught several of these fish, but was unsuccessful after 80 casts)

[item=167656]: 56,31 (small round pond at Scrapbone Den) - Caught on 6th cast

[item=167657]: 65,23 (Sourback Hideout, pond in back of cave) - Caught on 11th cast

[item=167662]: 57,22 (smaller pond at very back of cave at Hungry Rest) - Caught on 2nd cast

[item=167654]: 77,48 (The Heaps) - Caught on 12th cast

[item=167659]: 84,73 (Broken Point) - Caught on 9th cast

[item=167661]: 37,30 (Toothy Shallows) - Caught on 26th cast

[item=167660]: 66,52 (Small pond in the Heaps) - Caught on 17th cast
(note: water is shallow so it's best to fish from the top of the nearby wreckage and find the right angle)

Best of luck and happy angling!
