Welcome to Somewhere South Fishing Charters! We are the complete package when it comes to inshore fishing in the Tampa Bay area. We will do our best to ensure you a safe, fun, and thrilling adventure out on the water.

Captain Ronnie Hayes will be manning the helm as you search the Gulf of Mexico for your perfect catch. Capt. Ronnie has a long history fishing the waters of the area. He has spent most of his life fishing these beautiful waters and his greatest passion is making sure everyone on his trips leaves with big smiles. Capt. Ronnie will lead you around the inshore fishing grounds of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Bradenton, Palm Harbor, and other glorious locations along the central west coast of Florida.

Your amazing fishing trip will be done on the 24ft Pathfinder Tournament Series that is powered by a Yamaha 250hp engine. She features a Garmin touch navigational system along with bottom recorders to make finding the fish a breeze. This vessel has a half tower to make spotting fish easy. Its bow and stern custom live wells have plenty of space for bait, while its Fusion stereo will get you fishing to a soundtrack powered by its state-of-the-art Wet Sound Speakers. With a custom Jack plate, it can run super skinny, getting you fishing over the best honey holes that other boats can’t access.

We offer 3 and 4-hour trips in the morning or afternoon targeting all the inshore species you desire. Each trip includes all the gear you need to catch fish along with a fishing license. Lures and bait are also included in the price and we will provide you with water so you don’t get dehydrated out there in the sun.

Capt. Ronnie Hayes loves to target Snook, Redfish, Trout and Tarpon most of the year, along with Snapper, Cobia, Kingfish and Grouper. Expect to see any of these exciting species on your hook as you are reeling it in.

Somewhere South Fishing Charters and Captain Ronnie Hayes aim to make your trip with them the best ever! We will make sure you leave happy and with many memories to look back on for the rest of your life.
