I fish in a 15/44 Alweld with 25hp Tohatsu Tiller Handle boat... I have to pick my days carefully on the lake and not venture too far in case the wind picks up... I don't feel in "danger" when the wind picks up a little but it's not the most desirable situation because of the ride back.
If the wind picks up a lot that is a different situation and can get a little shaky... been there done that too... not a pleasure.
I do fish quite a bit around Lake Charles/210/Prien area... there are some good areas around there and can produce fish if the water is good.
Another option is the South end of the Calcasieu estuary if you launch from the Jetties in Cameron... you have access to the south end of the ship channel as well as the Jetties and you can be back at the launch pretty quickly if things get a little dicey
