Description
The idea for Fintalk was born in 2002 and the actual site went online in early 2004. Although the idea for Fintalk is fairly new the actual finished website is the product of many years of growing up on the water and fishing the Chesapeake Bay and it's surrounding waters by Joseph and Jeffrey Dodd, two brothers who wanted to create a place for anglers to come to get free information for the sport they love so much.
Growing up in Virginia Beach, Virginia we were surrounded by water, either the Chesapeake Bay or the Atlantic Ocean. During our early fishing years as kids, around the late 1970's, we actually lived on the water and our first boat was a little aluminum v-hull with a small 9.9 Evinrude that would get us up and down all the rivers around the Lower Bay and get us out to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel so we could trout fish. Back in those days it was all about jigging or wire lining for BIG Gray Trout (Weakfish).
We would take that little 15' aluminum boat all the way across the Bay at times, a 17 mile trip, while the older fishermen with the big boats would look at us like we were crazy! I can't count how many times as a kid I heard, "you don't have good sense being out here in that little boat." Looking back on those days we believe those guys were probably right, my brother and I were quite crazy for being out there in that little tub. All we knew then was that we LOVED to fish, and for a couple of kids around the age of 12 there was nothing in this world like hooking up to a 10lb gray trout on a small Ugly Stick, and that little "aluminum tub" was our ticket to do it. That's where we believe Fintalk.com was born, right there during those great fishing summers in the late 70's and early 80's. We will always cherish those days as young fishermen motoring around the Chesapeake Bay chasing what is now the "ever elusive" Big Gray Trout, at least around the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

Fintalk.com Review
FinTalk.com is probably the largest saltwater fishing website online. I would say they have a little bit of info about everything. I mainly frequent their forum and can say they run a no-nonsense clean forum. Want to post a link to something they don't give you a big hassle like Tidalfish forum which I also frequent. Fintalk beats Tidalfish hands down but many more anglers know about TF than FT. I'd say that will change once the word gets out more on Fintalk.com. OK, fellas I gave you a decent review and you most definitely deserve it. Keep up the great work!
