Frank Cole, Captain at Recess Sport Fishing

Recess Sport Fishing offers anglers a first-class fishing experience in Northeast Florida which is known for having the most diverse marine environments in North America. From remote and intricate backcountry creeks to the wild and expansive Atlantic Ocean, the Jacksonville area provides year-round fishing opportunities for an extensive variety of gamefish and great eating table fare. If that made you excited, then booking a trip with Captain Frank Cole is the perfect choice for a fun and memorable trip!

Captain Frank Cole was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where he began fishing and surfing at an early age. He is a passionate fisherman who likes to share the abundant fishing grounds and breathtaking charm of Northeast Florida. In addition, he strenuously encourages conservation through catch-and-release. Plus, he welcomes families, children, business clients, and friend groups to join him and experience the best inshore & nearshore fishing adventure to create a fish story of a lifetime!

The vessel you'll be fishing is a 2002 16' Hells Bay Waterman Technical Poling Skiff with 40hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard. You may also hop on board the Captain's 2016 24' Pathfinder TRS with 300 hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard. Both are specially designed, built, and outfitted to provide the absolute best opportunity to pursue any targeted species in virtually any fishable conditions.

The Captain supplies all the equipment you'll need and provides fishing licenses. If you choose to keep your catch, the crew can clean and bag it for you at no extra charge. Just bring your sun protection, whatever food and drinks you want, and get ready for lots of fun on the water as you go trolling, spinning, and use light tackle on catching species like Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Sheepshead and more!
