I am travelling with my 2 brothers to Tenerife 7.4.2012-14.4.2012. We participated with my younger brother your deep sea fishing 4 hrs trip during christmas 2010. Thanks to you, it was a great afternoon. Now, I would like to ask you if you have similar trips available during our stay in Tenerife. It would be 3 person and we all want to do fishing

As promised Mick here is the report. Cracking day out and my biggest fish to date. You really made my trip one to remember and I will definately be back on the boat in the new year. I would highly recommend your trip to anyone who wants the "REAL THING", not a fanatsy fishing trip that I have been on before! Oh and say Hi to Jack and Fidel, really nice blokes. See you soon, Rob.

Mick, thought you might like a few photos from today's trip. So I'll send some across. Unfortunately I lost Its twin at the boat but thumbs up to your son and crew. Me and my boy really enjoyed it

Had a great outing with myself & my girlfriend (spectator) and it was the highlight of our trip!! Thanks to the guys onboard who really know their stuff & looked after us rookies!!! Definitely be back next year...

29 Juni had ik een dagje gereserveerd om haai te gaan vissen met Mick en John. Helaas kon dit niet doorgaan vanwegen een gebrek aan belangstelling maar Mick had wel gelijk een plek gereserveerd voor de vervangende trolling/bodemvissen trip. Het werd uiteidelijk een beetje een stille dag met maar twee vissen aan boord waarvan een ruwe haai van 1.70 voor ondergetekende. Mick en Joh hebben gedurende de dag hun uiterste best gedaan om ons een visje te laten vangen. Verder werden zeer hartelijk aanboord ontvangen en ook de service gedurende de dagwas meer dan uitstekend. Ook het lunchpakket en de toast op de haai zijn mij zeer goed bevallen. Zeer zeker een aanrader voor degene die een dagje wil gaan vissen zonder zorgen aan zijn/haar hoofd. Groetjes Jeroen

Not many game boats would take someone with mobility problems on board but thanks to you guys, my wife can come fishing with me which she enjoys immensely. Not only that, You helped her hook into a 30-kilo stingray, which although I landed, she hooked. I had a nice Tope of about 25kg which is also my biggest fish to date. Thanks to you guys we have had yet another cracking holiday in Tenerife & hopefully see you again before the end of the year.

Hi Mick, Thanks again for another awesome trip! The Big Eye Tuna was the highlight of the holiday and a fantastic present to get the day before my 30th birthday !! Now I have the Marlin and the Tuna on the list, I suppose it's getting one of the big Sharks on next. Best wishes to you, Pauline, Jack and the crew and I will see you on the next trip. David

Hello Mick, Jack and the rest of the crew. Thank you for à wonderfull week, my girlfriend Leen and me were 5 day's on you're boat. We were very lucky or was it not luck but à good decission to go after the Fish. The first day i caught with bootom fishing à stingray and an angel shark. The second day another man caught à big eye Tuna of 115 kg!!! WAAAAUW...what à Fish... The third day à stingray The forth day i caught à Blue Marlin, not so big only 105 kg, but à very Nice fight, after he got the lure he jumper out of the water at least 15 times, from left to richt hè crossed the sea.... And after à ficht of 35 minutes we took the leader... Very Nice... Thank you for everything and we see eachtother in September...

To mick and crew to the crested boat. Sorry to not have been in contack sooner but bin very busy at work. I was there when joe caught the marlin. It was an expertion i will not forget. And it is true what he said you and the crew was very proshanall at your jobs. Im due for a brake if i can get away with it near future. By the way at least you and your wife (the one at the kiosc)tell you the way it is good or bad! hope to see you soon best regards Michael Friton-on-sea essex england

A planned day of shark fishing took a turn for the better on the way back to port, all the crew of the crested wave didn't stop working practically all day, after setting 6 rods for trolling on the way to shark spot we had no takes so the out came the traces and mackerel for the shark set up, 4 rods were promptly deployed along with a continual spread of chum for the next 5 hours, no shark around on this partially fine day, never the less the trolling rods were soon back in their holders and off we went, by this time I can only say I was impressed with all of the hard effort that went in to making a great day for my sole private charter. In the distance a flock of diving birds was spotted by Mick and the chase was on, the first passed produced two hook ups which we soon discovered to be dorado, then came the big shout MARLIN, MARLIN, the monster was on, I see the line ripping off from the big Penn reel and in the distance I could see the almighty fish jumping form the sea in a bid to brake free. I was quickly prompted into the seat and strapped up for the 50 minute battle, the crew unlike me were calm and professional at all times, I conquered the Marlin and lived my dream in Tenerife 11/05/2011 and will never forget every little detail of that once in a life time incredible day. This ones for you Dad, I hope you didn't miss a thing. Best respect to all of the crew on the crested wave... Joseph Marland-Brown.

JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW WE CAUGHT THE 1ST BLUE MARLIN OF THE SEASON 2 DAYS AGO OF 495LB. 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN THE 1ST SPORT FISHING BOAT TO CATCH A BLUE MARLIN, NOT A BAD RECORD CONSIDERING HOW MANY BOATS ARE NOW OPERATING HERE A? THE 'CRESTED WAVE' SHOWS THE WAY AGAIN!!!

Hello Mick, Here's the comment I promised to send to you. Dont know if you remember us but my Husband Mark lost the shark at the boat when he tangled up the line, bet you remember us now! Anyway he's still a bit embarresed about the whole mishap and says how patient you where with him and made us all laugh at his expense. Anyway we had a fantastic time and have already recommended you to some people staying at our hotel and will also pass you on to a few of our friends back home. Say hello to the crew from us, they where great fun, see you at Christmas. Regards, Mark & Maureen Blundell.

All At Sea On The Crested Wave Captain Mike and wife Pauline have run Genuine Fishing for many years aboard the Crested Wave and offer fishing for the experienced and novice angler. From the moment I approached kiosk 6 at the harbour entrance and spoke to Pauline I knew we were in for a great day, I only fish for compliments but Trish, the designer half of the partnership was once a keen sea angler and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to explore day trips for you, our readers. We left for our ½ day at sea at 9am, the sky was overcast but our day was soon to brighten up in more ways than one. Mike and his crew greeted us and spectators were made to feel just as welcome as the” fisher folk” Then as we were underway Mike ran through procedures as ½ of our time would be spent trolling with lures for big game fish and the rest of the time bottom fishing for other species. Just as Mike was finishing the first bite of the day took us all by surprise especially Trish as it was on her line! Alas she was not fast enough and the huge Amberjack got away. As the sun burnt off the morning cloud anticipation and excitement grew, Mike was on the deck peering through binoculars scanning the sea for tell tale signs of out prey, we were then treated to a bonus as a school of large Dolphins frolicked across the bows for a short while before playfully continuing on their never ending journey. The sea was calm and glistening and the gulls that circled above us were equally as vigilant as our captain. There were several nudges at the taught trailing lines and then the big one! Bill, on holiday from Nottingham jolted forward as his rod bent nearly double, he would need assistance to land this one. The crew strapped a harness around Bills waist to take the strain while he doggedly hung on; this monster was going to take some coaxing from 200 foot down on the ocean bed. After 20 long minutes the beast appeared on the surface, it was enormous,30 kilo of reluctant mussel and

and it was Bill’s first ever fish! As the commotion died down and every had refreshed their bait up went the shout, we could not believe it, Bill barley recovered for from his last epic fight had hooked another, only a tiddler this time at a mere 20 kilo! I can thoroughly recommend this trip to all ages, for those who wish to fish like Trish ( that’s the wannabe poet coming out in me )or simply for those who want to accompany their partners, watch and soak up the fun, it was such an interesting experience and you are very well looked after from the moment you step aboard until you are once again on terra firma, thank you guys.

hi,mick Just wanted to say thanks for the 2 trips on your boat last week had a great time,shame l only caught 1 but still a great experience being out there,,, say hi to Pauline and Jack for me they were very friendly and helpful,,see you soon.

Cracking day out Mick, you definately deserve a beer at the end of the day, I dont know how you can keep up that work rate all day but we, and the other passengers on your boat agreed that you made us all feel welcome and definatley got our moneys worth. My Dad is over at christmas and I am sure he will be out with you for a days fishing. Best of luck for the rest of the season. Tony.

Best Regards Mike from Germany,Fran and Thomas, you make 2 very hapy fisheman

Brilliant day out, well worth the money just wish i hadnt left it till the end of my holidays otherwise I would have gone on a second trip for sure. Will see you all again. Carl, Portsmouth.

just back from 7 hrs fishing lost count of how many stingray came aboard the boat i got three to 160 lbs and a few tope to 45lbs forgot to take my phone so no pics till I get some off the skipper will defo try to have another trip out before I leave

Hi Mick, As promised here is the comment for your site. After spending over 250 Euros on 2 other boats that promised the 'Ultimate Fishing Experience' I was glad it did not turn me off and that I booked a day out with yourself, you gave me exactly what you said! Ok we did not catch any very big fish on the trolling, but the Skipjack's and that fantastic, acrobatic Dorado where great sport, and as you said the bottom fishing was more productive, and good eating!!! You run a very good business and it was a pleasure to be in your and the crews company, Say hello to your Son Jack for me, he is a credit to you. All the best for the future, and will spend at least half my holiday days with you next time I am there. Victor. Ps. Did the woman who recorded me playing the Dorado send you the footage? if so I would appreciate a copy, thanks.

TO ALL AT THE CRESTED WAVE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY HOLIDAY GO WELL. I WAS'NT TREATED LIKE A TOURIST BUT A FREIND.YOU AND YOUR STAFF WERE SO GENUINE AND HELPFULL MEME AND FIDEL WERE VERY GOOD WITH MY NINE YEAR OLD SON KARL .AND I CANT BELIVE THAT I CAUGHT A 25KG AND 45KG RAY ON JUST TWO HALF DAY TRIPS ON THE BOAT, AND CAN I JUST THANK MEME AND FIDEL FOR GIVING MY SON THE LIGHT ROD JUST SO THAT HE COULD CATCH SOME FISH .HE REALLY HAD A TIME OF HIS LIFE MANY THANKS AND I WILL DEFINATLY BE USING YOU NEXT TIME I AM IN TENERIFE. BEST WISHES MICK FROM WALTON-ON-THE-NAZE, ESSEX.

Hi Mick and the crew, As promised here is the mail I promised you. My husband, Tom has told me you made his holiday, and wished he had the time to do it again. Thank you and the crew, Fidel, Meme and yourself really made it a great day for him, even though he did not catch a fish himself he was over the moon to see Jake, our son, to catch the tunas and Lizard fish, he showed his Grandmother the pic's as soon as we got back home and took them to school the next day and his head teacher wants to book a fishing trip with you, honest! I think he will remember this holiday for a long long time and you have definately made him a 'Fisherman' for life! All the best to you and Pauline. Helen,Tom & Jake.

Hi Mick Hope you have recovered from your ordeal last week had a brill time out on the boat with you, hope you dont have nightmares! all the very best Hughie & John alias Big Hector & Wee Hector

Hi Mick, As ever i had a great time on the boat, it realy is the highlight of my holiday. The crew never fail to disapoint as they work hard to find the fish. The stingray that i caught was discribed by other anglers on the boat as a fish of a lifetime, i think i agree as my arms were aching for days after. I have a photo at the side of my desk to remind me of those Happy days on your boat. See you in October. Alex & Donna

HI MICK AND CREW. THANKS FOR A GREAT DAYS FISHING. WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES. DAVID STILL CANT GET OVER THE SIZE OF THAT TUNA YOU BOTH MANAGED TO PULL IN, HE'S PUT ALL THE PHOTOS UP IN OUR LOCAL PUB FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. I THINK WE HAVE BOTH NOW BECOME ADDICTED TO FISHING, WE,VE JOINED A LOCAL CLUB AND ARE BOTH ENJOYING IT IMMENSLY. WE'LL DEFINATELY BE JOINING YOU ON ANOTHER TRIP AS SOON AS WE RETURN TO TENERIFE. REGARDS TO YOU AND ALL THE CREW. VICTORIA AND DAVID.

Hi there Mick.We had a blast on our fishing trip, and will be coming back for sure :-)I'm going through our photos now, and will send them to you later today, or tomorrow at the latest.What time of the year is the best for catching big eye's and maco's?Will send your comment link to the rest of the guys so they all can leave some kind words for you :-)RegardsTommy SolbergStore ManagerTelekiosken Trondheim

Hi Mick just a quick note to say thanks again for the day on the crestedwave on the Tuesday the 17th of November, me and my mate enjoyed the time out with you and your crew, we had a great time and we are looking forward to come again out with you, maybe we will then catch are dream fish.

See you again sometime.. Lee

Dear Mick/John - Thanks for the trip on Wednesday, certainly beats knocking small carp out of a hole in the ground! We will definitely be seeing you again, hopefully the Marlin will be biting and the wife and stepdaughter can catch this time!

All the best. Cliff Dixon.

Hello Mick & Crew, Just got back from the work after showing my mates the photos of the fish we caught with you and they were 'gobsmacked' especially the one of the Tuna. One of them is a mad carp angler and when he saw my photos it really shut him up about the 'Tiddlers' he catches, was worth it just for that.

Will see you again at Christmas, all the best, Marcus.
