From the minute we stepped on the boat Captain Ronnie did all he could to make our experience a memorable one. I have 9 and 6 year old boys that love to fish and he was great with them. He was very laid back and loved teaching them about the fish we were catching. We booked the half day inshore trip and fish a lot longer than 4 hours! We caught a bunch of snook and a couple of speckled trout. Captain Ronnie was awesome with my boys and was very knowledgeable about the area where we fished. I would highly recommend Somewhere South Fishing Charters and will definitely be back!

My three family members and I took a 4 hour trip with Captain Ronnie.  We have been on other Charters, but they seemed to make more time trying to catch bait than spending that time fishing in the first place. That was not an issue with Captain Ronnie; he had everything ready when we met at our scheduled time and then headed straight out onto the water without further delay. He had us on snook in less than half an hour. The bite was rough this day due to a cold front but Ronnie did everything possible to get the bite going (Chumming allot of bait fish). He kept lines baited and was patient when casts were made into mangro trees. We caught several good size snook and we all enjoyed the day. I will definitely contact Ronnie next time in St. Pete area for another go at it.
