THe ERFB are in the process of putting more signs and want suggestions for locations.

So where should they go? (This is the ERFB region, so from Carlingford Lough almost to Bannow.)

Think I have Wexford pretty much covered. Need help further North. PMs if you like.

Yeah, me too. I guess we must be fishing in the wrong places :?

If you send me a list of specific place names for signs I'll forward it on to the ERFB. I guess we're looking for the main places where good numbers of people fish.

By the way, the new signs will be in several languages.

Thanks. Keep 'em coming. Want to send off the list tonight as they're supposed to be putting up the signs over the coming weeks. They'll probably need to make some more :D

The first place I would put these signs is in the Tackle shops !

Secondly, signs should be clearly visible. (not hanging from trees i.e. Katts strand or knee height on Pier walls i.e. various piers around wexford)
