About Recess Sportfishing
The origins of Recess Sportfishing go back to the early ‘90s when Dave Workman, Jr. and Frank Cole collaborated on the design, construction, outfitting and fishing of “RECESS”. A custom boat built by Tides Boatworks of Irvington, Virginia, “RECESS” set a new standard in small sportfishing boats. At 27’10” long and powered with a 300 horsepower Caterpillar diesel engine, “RECESS” was a “small big boat” – a stable, fast and economical platform for chasing big fish in big water.
