Meet Captain Mike Small
3rd Generation Heritage | 21 State St. Erie
I am Captain Mike Small, and I invite you to join me aboard the Bomber for an elite Lake Erie fishing experience.
Fishing isn't just a job for me; it is in my blood. As a 3rd generation Captain, I grew up on these docks, learning the lake's secrets from my father, Capt. Steve Small, and my grandfather, the legendary Tim "Pappy" Small.
Operating out of 21 State Street, I carry on the family tradition of integrity, safety, and a relentless drive to put fish in the cooler. When you step onto my Tiara, you are benefiting from over 45 years of family knowledge.
The "Pappy" Legacy
The Bomber Charters name honors the tradition started by Tim "Pappy" Small. Pappy was an original field tester for the Bomber Lure Company in the 1960s. He helped develop the very techniques we use today to target trophy Walleye and Steelhead. Today, I'm proud to run the vessel that bears that namesake heritage.
