Every DNR stocking record for 1,992 Michigan lakes is free, no account needed. Fishing Pro is for turning that data into an actual trip: unlimited planning, unlimited alerts, and the tools to track your own fishing.
A free account gets 1 saved trip plan a month and the top 3 ranked lakes per search. If you're chasing a species across counties or fishing most weekends, Pro removes both caps: unlimited saved plans, full ranked results every time.
Free accounts get 1 stocking alert. Most serious anglers track a handful of lakes and a couple of target species at once. Pro removes the cap so every one of them can email you the moment the DNR logs activity.
Every catch you log is saved regardless of plan, but free accounts can only browse the last 30 days. Pro keeps your full history visible and exportable to CSV, and makes your catches eligible for the statewide leaderboard.
