Welcome to the site. I started fishing VBay out of an alweld 1648 with a 75 and never went back to freshwater. you can hit henderson and catch bream under a cork or hit the bay and get a 6 lb red under a cork. when your wife and kids hang on to something like that makes it all worth it.
if you launch out of the point or ICC there are plenty of places to get your fill of reds. Specs will not be in the bay until September.
Not sure of your boat or skills but i have seen alot smaller boats than yours in the pass. wind and atchafalaya discharge play a role in planning.
Big lake is smaller and has more specs. year round than Vbay.
good luck.
