Ronnie Hayes, Captain at Somewhere South Fishing Charters

Experience the thrill of fishing and explore the rich array of marine life that exists in the coastal waters along Florida's Gulf coast with Somewhere South Fishing Charters. Captain Ronnie Hayes has a lifelong passion for fishing that started when he was just a young boy growing up in St. Petersburg, Florida. He has spent countless hours fishing the waters of Tampa Bay and the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, and he is excited to share his knowledge and expertise with you on your next fishing adventure.


Nestled on Florida's Gulf coast, St. Petersburg is a fishing paradise that offers some of the most exciting angling opportunities in the world. With its crystal-clear waters and diverse marine life, anglers can expect to catch a wide variety of species.


Up to four guests are welcome aboard the 24’ Pathfinder Tournament Series Center console boat, which is perfectly suited for navigating the bays and marshes of the Gulf coast. The boat's small size and light weight make it easy to move through the water, and the 300HP Yamaha motor will get you to your fishing spots in no time. The wireless trolling motor will keep your boat afloat even in the shallow marshes, allowing you to sneak up on your target fish quietly and stealthily.


As a United States Coast Guard Licensed Charter Captain, Ronnie Hayes is committed to providing you with an unforgettable fishing experience. Cruise Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters to target species like Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Tarpon, which you can catch most of the year. And if you're lucky, you might even reel in a Cobia, Kingfish, Crevalle Jack, or Grouper, which are available during specific seasons. Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-timer, Somewhere South Fishing Charters offers an inshore fishing experience that is second to none. Captain Ronnie will provide you with top-of-the-line equipment and light tackle, allowing you to entice bites from some of the most sought-after fish in the area. Bottled water, fishing licenses, catch cleaning, and filleting will be provided by the charter, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm for fishing.


During your trip, you'll have an experienced first mate on board to assist you with anything you need, from baiting your hook to reeling in your catch. And when the day is done, don't forget to tip the crew 20% for their exceptional service.


So why wait? Book your trip with Somewhere South Fishing Charters today and get ready for the fishing adventure of a lifetime!

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.

It was a great trip. We caught lots of fish with your help and rescued another boat in distress.

July 15, 2025

We had a wonderful time fishing! Caught some snook, barracuda, redfish and snapper

July 15, 2025

My family came home and they said the trip was “the best day ever”. Thanks, Captain Ronnie!

July 15, 2025

My family and friends caught the biggest snook we’ve ever caught. And my Biggest redfish .
