The best no fishing allowed sign depends on where it will be posted, how visible it needs to be, and whether it must withstand outdoor exposure. My Sign Center’s 10-by-7-inch aluminum sign is a compact choice for general private-property notices, while its 10-by-14-inch shore sign is better for a waterfront. The Venicor sign offers a larger format and thicker aluminum; the Eletina sign combines no-fishing and no-trespassing messaging; and the 8-by-12-inch aluminum option is designed for flexible mounting.

My Sign Center Private Property No Fishing
This 10-by-7-inch sign is a compact aluminum option for posting a private-property fishing restriction. Its smaller format can suit gates, entrances, or other spots where a large sign is unnecessary. The manufacturer describes the aluminum as rust-free and the graphics as weather-resistant and fade-resistant, and says the sign is made in the USA.
Best for: Property owners who want a concise notice in a smaller format. It was selected for its specific no-fishing message and four pre-drilled holes for installation. Limitation: Its 10-by-7-inch size may be less noticeable than the larger options from a distance.
My Sign Center Shore Fishing Restriction
This 10-by-14-inch aluminum sign states that fishing is not allowed from the shore. The location-specific wording can help clarify a restriction along a bank or waterfront. Its four pre-drilled holes are intended to make mounting straightforward, and the manufacturer describes the sign as rust-free, weather-resistant, and fade-resistant.
Best for: Shoreline owners who want the message to identify where fishing is prohibited. It was selected because its wording is more specific than a general no-fishing notice. Limitation: Choose a general private-property sign instead if the restriction is not limited to fishing from the shore.
Venicor Thicker Aluminum No Fishing Sign
Venicor’s 14-by-10-inch aluminum sign combines a private-property notice with a no-trespassing message. The product listing says it uses 60-mil-thick aluminum, compared with the 40-mil thickness it attributes to competitors. It also describes high-resolution color printing, pre-drilled holes, and rounded corners.
Best for: Buyers who want a larger sign that communicates both restricted access and no fishing. It was selected for its stated thicker aluminum and visible color printing. Limitation: Its combined wording may be unnecessary if you only need to prohibit fishing without posting a no-trespassing notice.
Eletina No Trespassing and No Fishing Sign
This 12-by-8-inch sign combines private-property, no-trespassing, and no-fishing messages. The listing identifies its material as tin and metal and gives a hole diameter of about 0.12 inch. It is described for indoor and outdoor display and mentions settings such as yards, garages, shops, and other public or private spaces.
Best for: Buyers who want one sign to communicate several restrictions. It was selected because the combined wording can make the intended boundary clearer than a no-fishing-only message. Limitation: The listing specifies tin and metal, rather than aluminum; compare materials if rust resistance is a priority.
8 × 12-Inch Aluminum No Fishing Sign
This 8-by-12-inch sign is made of aluminum and is listed for private-property use, including outdoor areas and lake houses. The product description calls it lightweight and durable and says it has four pre-drilled holes. It can be installed with screws, double-sided tape, or rope, according to the listing.
Best for: Buyers who want an aluminum sign with several stated mounting methods. It was selected for its practical size and flexible installation options. Limitation: The listing does not provide a specific aluminum thickness, so compare it with the Venicor option if thickness is a key requirement.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a No Fishing Sign
What size is right for the posting location?
Match the sign size to the distance and placement. A 10-by-7-inch sign can fit a smaller mounting area, while 12-by-8-inch and 14-by-10-inch formats provide more display area. For a long shoreline or an approach where people may see the sign from farther away, consider a larger format and check the intended viewing distance before choosing.
Should the sign specify a shore or private property?
Choose wording that accurately describes the restriction. “No Fishing From This Shore” is location-specific. “Private Property” or “No Trespassing” adds an access restriction alongside the fishing message. A general no-fishing sign may be clearer when fishing is prohibited but other access rules are not part of the notice.
Which material and mounting features matter?
Aluminum is the listed material for four of these options; the Eletina product is described as tin and metal. Compare stated thickness when available, and look for pre-drilled holes if you plan to attach the sign with screws. The 8-by-12-inch option also lists rope and double-sided tape as mounting methods. Confirm that the mounting method suits the surface and exposure at your location.
What should you check before ordering?
- Confirm the sign’s exact dimensions and wording.
- Check how many mounting holes it has and whether their placement suits your surface.
- For outdoor placement, compare the listing’s stated weather and fade resistance.
- Choose a combined trespassing message only if it accurately reflects the access rule you intend to communicate.
