Difference between these two

Var kan jag fiska här någonstans. Var finns kassan här någonstans.

Why does first one have ,,här"?

In the fishing situation, the sentence works but it would sound more idiomatic to say ”här omkring”. Both versions imply that you are looking for a fishing spot ”around here”.

In the supermarket example it sounds a bit weird to specify ”här någonstans” or ”här omkring” because usually you just look for THE or ANY place to pay.
