Meet your captain
Dave has been on the charter fishing scene since birth. As a 3rd generation captain, he started his career as a first mate at the age of 11 working on the family boats and for anyone else who needed a hand. In 2002 he earned his 100 Ton Master’s Captain’s License and purchased Tiny Bubbles (boat and business) from his father, Robert. The rest, as they say, is history. When Dave is not fishing he enjoys… Fishing! Whether it be in the creeks and inland lakes of our great Northern Michigan area, or in the Ocean and Gulf of the Florida Keys, there are very few days that go by when he doesn’t have a fishing pole in hand. Dave is also an avid hunter, enjoying whitetail, duck and small game hunting. Dave and his wife, Amanda, have two daughters (Noelle and Kass) and enjoy traveling when they’re not working.

Captain Noelle Rommell
Capt. Noelle (Elle as she is better known) has been a fulltime mate on Tiny Bubbles since 2019 and finished her Captains License training at the age of 18. She has been on the boats since she was 6mos old and definitely has the “Rommell Fishing Curse” now making up the 4th generation of Rommell family charter captains. Elle, much like her father, enjoys all types of fishing, but slaying Lake Trout is her favorite. When Elle is not fishing, she enjoys duck & deer hunting, going to the gym and horseback riding.
Captain Robert Rommell
Robert represents the 2nd generation of Rommell family fishermen. Having been first mate for his father, Robert Rommell Sr, to then purchasing his own charter boat and finally purchasing the Tiny Bubbles business, Robert has been a part of the Frankfort Fishing Community his whole life. Robert is “retired from his real job” but works more than full time with the Tiny Bubbles crew. You’ll find him at the helm of Super Fish, as well as working the deck (or the helm) on either Tiny Bubbles boat. Robert enjoys all types of fishing and hunting as well as spoiling his 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
First Mate Ezra
Ezra has always enjoyed the outdoors and especially fishing. He has been fishing the big water for a few year now, but spends even more time fishing for steelhead and native trout, when he’s not trolling for walleye or ice fishing for perch. Ezra also enjoys hunting and being outdoors every chance he gets.
Deckhand Calvin Dennis
Calvin is on round #2 as a Tiny Bubbles crew member, having been one of the very first non-family members to work for the company more than 20yrs ago! Calvin is an avid fisherman and hunter with a true passion for the outdoors. When he’s not fishing or hunting himself, he enjoys using his deer tracking dogs to help hunters find wounded game.
