Since it was an overnight trip, you could have kept a two day limit, correct?

Actually I think that this is a big misconception...apparently you have to have some kind of captain's license to do this, and have to be on the boat for more than 24 hours...

I may be wrong but I thought it used to be you had to have two captains with license on board to keep two days limits on a charter.

I think this is right. Not sure about private trips though. My boat is a West Delta, South Timbalier kind of rig, not a Green Canyon rig, so I have never really researched it. If I do an overnight trip, it means something is badly broken.

how far offshore do you have to go to reach snapper water from morgan city? My boat hold 50 gallons and when I leave out of Morgan city the furthest I have been was the mardi GRAS

Although I think they catch snapper at shallower rigs over there than further east, it is still a really long haul. My boat carries 85 gallons and I never felt like I could safely make the SS rigs out of Cocodrie or Dularge.

From Berwick boat landing to the sea bouy at the mouth of the river is about 35 miles. If you go about another 10 miles you can catch Snapper, Ling, and Mangroves. Another 60 miles you should be on Tuna and AJ's. It's a long haul

Ran out of Coco Marina twice this weekend.
Friday was relatively calm seas. Hit SS-198 for a 4 man limit of 8-14lb snapper. Ended up running all the way out to SS-299 to try and get deeper than the snapper. No matter the type and size of bait, we couldn't get away from them. Ended up picking up 2 40+ lb amberjacks on hard tails and a little scamp on a Frenzy Angry Jig to end the day.
Saturday we ran farther in much rougher seas. Headed out to Ewing Bank and trolled the drill ships out there in 400' of water. Missed a nice mahi and landed about a 12lb wahoo on a cedar plug. After wasting most of the day trolling and chunking with only the one snake to show for it, we ran back to SS-299 to salvage our trip with a limit of red snapper. 8 snapper came fast with one surprise snapper to boot. A 16lb 10oz Dog Snapper. Headed home exhausted and beat up.
Two day total:
16 red snapper from 8-12 lbs
2 amberjack over 40 lbs
1 wahoo 12lbs
1 scamp 4 lbs
1 dog snapper 16lb 10oz

Snake he mentioned was probably a king mackerel. A 12 pound wahoo is definetly on the small side for hoo's.
Private boats can never keep two limits on over-night trips. And only some times for actual charter guides.

The snake I mentioned was the wahoo we caught. It was a small hooter; definitely not a king.

Dont forget their are possession limits in addition to the daily bag limits...
In regards to the limit issue on overnighters:
For AJs and snapper other than red and grouper:
Two day limit allowed in possession
only on charter vessels and
headboats on multi day trips, if the
vessels have two licensed operators
as required by the U.S. Coast Guard
for trips more than 12 hours, and if
each angler has in possession a
receipt issued on behalf of the vessel
verifying the length of the trip.
red snapper, redfish and specs:
Two days’ bag limit allowed in
possession off of the water, not
while fishing or in a boat
*also no harvest of red snapper, AJ or any type of grouper is allowed for captain and deckhand(s)
