i think it would be worth the drive to ICY or the point. Just watch the weather and you will be fine heading out into the bay. ICY is a little better protected on windy days in my opionion, you can fish the mouths of various canals and the burms in the lil bay, they hold plenty of fish and most people pass right on by and pay them no mind. I have not fished out of the point much so not much help on that side.

gas
do you have a 6 or a 12 gallon gas tank in your boat, if you have a 12 you can run from the boston south to the shan, and then the avery(delcambre), it isn't a far drive down the intracoastal canal, and the port canal is only 5miles from there, and from the port canal you have full access to all of weeks bay, mud point, shark bayou, i run the same setup as you but the xpress version, there are plenty of options to fish that area, without having to worry to much about the wind, south west winds the bay around the boston and shan are protected, south east winds, weeks bay is protected by the point and shark island and mud point, can't help you with i.c. though, only been there once, that is a looooong boat ride from avery, didn't fish much just wanted to make the ride to check it out

If you decide on going out of the Boston or ICY you can fish little bay which is only a couple of miles from the ICY boat landing. Your boat would be perfect for that area becasue the water is shallow.

I have a 12 gallon tank in my boat. The run isn't bad just rather put in closer than drive the boat there. I have never been to the point before and only to intercostal once for a job. The salt water is kinda new to me. I grew up in BR without a boat. So I fished where people would take me.

ramp
well patout bayou is a good one with access to weeks bay but bring a gps with you cause it doesnt take much to get turned the wrong way through them bayous, the port canal is pretty much a straight run out after making that first left, only have to watch coming back in where the bayou splits stay to the right, the launch at the point puts you right in the middle of everything, but there you have to watch the wind, it is a short ride into shark bayou, but it is a rough ride if the winds are elevated, good fishing east of the point, but the winds will make it rough getting around the point sometimes, there is a boat ramp at the port of st. mary that you have to pay to launch, that will give you access to the east side of the point around cote blanche bay and other areas, vermillion bay has lots of options but it takes some exploring, and it can be easily discouraging you will be more unsuccesful than you will be succesful, but when its on its worth it

how's Fearman Lake and the Hell Hole area?

Good but watch the tides close. Don't be in the hell hole at the end of a falling tide unless you wanna hang out there a while. Fearman can get pretty shallow too.
