Background
Captain Maurice Young has been fishing since he was a boy in South Florida. His areas of expertise include tournament offshore fishing throughout Florida and the Bahamas.

The captain specializes in live bait fishing for Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Kingfish, Snook, Wahoo, Tarpon, Trout, and all species of Snapper and Grouper. He is passionate about catching large fish, so his Dry Tortugas and Middle Grounds Snapper/Grouper trips have been extremely rewarding. No matter what kind of fishing you would like to do, rest assured you'll be going with one of the top professionals with the skills, knowledge, boat, and gear, but most importantly, with the dedication and persistence that you'll catch the fish you're after. For Captain Maurice, this is not a job but a passion and opportunity to share his vast experience with guests, families, and friends.

Fishing Report Key Largo to Marathon Mid March 2023 Hello fellow anglers from Seas 2 Trees Outdoors & aboard the Ace of Spades!! We hope 2023 has blessed you with great new-beginnings & happy travels! The March bite has been rewarding so far. We have been lucky to have Sailfish biting daily! Some days we are catching & releasing up to 12 beautiful, large sailfish. Captain Maurice’s favorite fishing by the way. We are catching the sailfish all over offshore. Wahoo fishing has been phenomenal these past few weeks, with most being caught either live bait fishing or high speed trolling. Additionally King Mackerel are along the outside edges of the reef down here, & they are ready to battle. We have been out late-night catching bait & filling up our live-wells with goggle eyes & pilchards to ensure endless bites for our charters! In regards to tasty eating fish, we have been catching many blackfin tuna, yellowtail snappers, king mackerel, & wahoo! Which we can filet beautifully for you to pack up your cooler or bring to your favorite restaurant to cook, like Angler & Ale, Hawks Cay. If you’re thinking of offshore fishing we encourage you to book the offshore trip to find Sailfish & varieties of Pelagics. Or if you want non-stop action with fishing pole in hand than maybe reef & wreck is the better trip for you; we encourage you to book this kind of trip to find yellowtail snappers, mutton snapper, & grouper. Whether you’re looking for an epic trophy sailfish bite or tasty fresh-catch to enjoy, Seas 2 Trees Outdoors is dedicated to finding you the fish you desire. As always we are fully equipped with the best high-end gear, electronics, tackle, & dedicated to providing the ultimate fishing experience. A special thanks to Team Yellowfin, Simrad electronics, and HUK fishing gear for helping us make this possible. Also to Hawks Cay Resort the ultimate destination for inshore & offshore anglers & their families. Whatever kind of fishing you’re looking to do in the Florida Keys, we will be here for you in making lifelong memories!!! Until our next update, as always be safe & we can’t wait to take you out on the water! Tight lines & bent rods! Captain Maurice Young Seas 2 Trees Outdoors Ace Of Spades♠️
