Know Before You Go
Fishing Spots allows you to create a tailored search for your perfect body of water. Filter lakes based on your criteria with popular fish species, size, and abundance characteristics to choose from, along with detailed boat ramp and access & amenities information. Get need-to-know details such as Trophy Potential, High Abundance or Outlier Lakes, and Keeper Potential. Plan your day by knowing whether the lake has restrooms, a boat dock, trailer parking, and more.
Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail
Knowing what fish species are in the lake or waterbody you intend to fish will be crucial to your game plan. Having this information prior to hitting the water will allow you to pack accordingly with the appropriate gear to get the job done.
Expand your Fishing Repertoire
Don’t get stuck fishing the same spots. Find places to escape the crowds and target less pressured fish by discovering completely new lakes. By filtering your search with boat launch and access & amenities information, you can find overlooked water bodies that you would’ve never known you could launch a boat on.

“Every good angler I know approaches each day of fishing with a solid plan. On this day, we used onX Fish to filter for lakes with trophy crappie potential, that also had high abundance of the species, along with a paved ramp to launch my Lund Pro-V. We found numbers AND size, on a new lake I’d never fished, all within 10 miles of where we were staying. I’ll take “knowing” over “guessing” every day of the week.”
