About the Gone Fishing Sign
Two words most anglers would happily leave behind them. The lettering is rounded and lower case, in a soft turquoise on a white background, and the fish skeleton between the words is a separate, raised piece with a crackle finish, so it stands proud of the sign and catches the light.
It hangs from a twisted natural rope, threaded through two holes in the top corners and knotted at the front, so one hook or nail is all you need. That makes it an easy fishing shed sign, a tackle-room door sign, or one for a kitchen or hallway wall. Keep it indoors or somewhere sheltered: as a gone fishing sign for shed doors, it's best on the inside.
At 25cm long and 8cm high, it's slim enough to fit a narrow door or the end of a shelf without taking over, much like a small gone fishing plaque, and the white and turquoise suit a seaside or fishing-themed room.
Hang it on the tackle-room door, inside a campervan, on a bedroom door for a young angler, or by the back door where the rods are kept.
Many fishing signs are personalised, cost about £19 to £30 and take a while to arrive. This one is ready made and costs a few pounds, which makes it a good stocking filler and one of the cheapest funny fishing gifts we sell. Pair it with one of our travel sea fishing kits for a bigger gift for a fisherman.

Lovely sign, looks right in the room.Fine but basic
It worked, though I expcted a little more polish. I am keeping it, though I would check the size and finish carefully. The small practical details was more important than the packaging. The hanging point mattered more after a holiday-let room.good
Nice sign, already had comments on it.Sign came fast

FAQs
Questions about the Gone Fishing Sign
What does the sign say?
It says 'gone fishing' in rounded, lower-case turquoise lettering on white, with a raised fish skeleton between the two words. It's the classic note anglers leave on the shed or office door, and it needs no explanation.
What size is it?
25cm long, 8cm high and about 1cm deep. That's slim enough for a narrow door or a gap on the wall, and the rope loop means it hangs from a single hook, nail or door knob without any fixings.
Can I hang it on a wall or door?
Yes. It hangs from a rope loop knotted through two holes, so a single hook, nail or door knob does the job. We'd keep it indoors or somewhere sheltered, such as inside a shed or porch, rather than out in the rain.
Who is it a good gift for?
Anyone who'd rather be on the riverbank or the rocks: dads, grandads, partners or friends who fish. It makes a cheap and cheerful stocking filler, and it's a fun extra to go with a bigger present such as a sea fishing kit.
Is it personalised?
No, it's ready made, so there's no wait and no spelling to check. Personalised fishing signs elsewhere usually cost about £19 to £30; this one is a fraction of that, and it says what every angler wants to say.
