Most of all. All this decisions or based on what kind of boat/motor you have determines where you launch really!

Yes, this is why I am launching out of ICY if I want to fish the pass. Also you can stay on the inside cut threw fearman lake if the wind is bad etc. To stay out the bay if it's sloppy.

I'm in Lafayette, but near Youngsville. The point & ICY are about the same drive time for me. Hwy 90 is just horrible from Lafayette to New Iberia while pulling the boat to the point. The roads going to ICY are so much better.

Boston would be the closest to me, but I wasn't sure how long the boat ride was down the Boston to the bay.

.8 miles from my shop to the house...I don't feel like driving it this evening. Would someone please come get me? Only two stop lights to consider and, oh yeah, I have a political function to attend tonight which is approx 1.123515 miles from the house. I'll pay your $100 admission just so that I don't have to go to it alone!

Any takers?!

Fearman can get shallow on low tide in the winter.

Meaux, how is the launch at FWC ? I heard it was in pretty bad shape, I haven't been there since before Rita. That would also be an option for me.

It's not very good, but it's useable. I just like the shorter run. Parking sucks and the canal can be pretty shallow on low tide, just make sure you stay in the middle

Delcambre is about to finish a top notch boat landing, should be open at the end of August. It will give you another option especially for the fall speck run in VB..
