Gizzmo Charters
Gizzmo Charters
If you're looking for enjoyment, excitement, and safety all wrapped up into one package, you're looking for Gizzmo Charters. Captain Mark Szekely will take you out of Conneaut Harbor and into a world of great fishing!
Capt. Mark invites you to join him for an angling adventure on board his 38' Bertram. She's a comfortable vessel, with a spacious cabin – you can take a break from the sun or rain inside. With a 14' beam and 110 sq. feet of floor space, you'll have plenty of room to battle your trophy across the deck. She weighs in at over 15 tons which creates a very smooth and dry ride, even in the choppy waters of Lake Erie.
A full head toilet is available on board so you don't have to worry about comfort and can focus on making the perfect cast.
You'll go after Walleye and Perch as your primary targets but a stray Steelhead is a possibility too. During the summer, you can troll the lake for Walleye and experience the fierce fight these fish offer first-hand. If you're a fan of Perch, Capt. Mark offers a fall trip from September through October – don't underestimate these panfish, or you'll lose them!
The captain will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, and tackle for whatever fishing technique you decide to do. You can even play some tunes on the onboard multimedia system – all the modern comforts combined with proper freshwater action.
You'll be fishing with a true angling pro – Capt. Mark has over 3 decades of experience guiding customers and is one of the more influential captains in the area. He even introduced planer boards and dipsy divers to the Ashtabula and Conneaut region!
Kids are welcome on board if they're 3 years or older but parents should provide comfortable vests for them, if they're small. Lunch can be provided for an extra fee and you're free to bring your own food and drinks on board.
Stop dreaming of treating yourself to that fishing trip and book today with Gizzmo Charters. You deserve it.

had a great time on the boat, fish were biting,captainand mate were very helpful and welcoming. Would take another trip with them
Excellent captain and mate. Great communication before the trip. We brought my 85 yo dad and they made sure he had a seat to fish from and helped get him safely on and off the boat. Fishing was excellent. We all got our limit.
thank you for being so generous your welcome anytime
Second trip with Mark and first mate. Caught our limit within 3 hours. They are very friendly and helpful. Husband not able to stand for long period of times and they accommodate in the last minute with a chair. Grandsons first trip out on charter boat and absolutely loved it. Thanks again for the great time.
Happy to have you and always happy to accommodate! Glad you had a good time!
Had a great time. Caught our limit within 3 hours. Captain knew where to go and very helpful with all our questions.
Mark and Jordan were great and we had a great time "catching, not fishing." Nice size in our cooler at end of the trip and Captain worked hard to get us the best locations on a somewhat confusing day. Will repeat and recommend without hesitation. Book and enjoy.

Your captain
I was born and raised near Lake Erie and have always enjoyed fishing on it. I was one of the pioneers in bringing the charter business to this area. I was instrumental in the introduction of planer boards and dipsey divers to the Ashtabula and Conneaut region. I not only have experience in the Conneaut/Ashtabula area but also in the Western and Central Basins of Lake Erie using both jig and drift fishing techniques. I was also an ice fishing guide for many years! I have had articles written about me in such publications as,'The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Walleye Magazine,' and believe it or not, 'The Washington Post!'
