The Vitamin Sea has switched marinas. Capt. Frank Masseria will be running out of Leonardo State Marina. rather than Keyport. He says that will put closer to the ocean where he expects striper fishing will be best under the present circumstances.

He notes” Keyport has been our home for so so many years, but it seems like the complexion of Fishing may very well change in the upcoming years. This move puts us about 8 miles closer to the ocean, saving a lot of running time and allowing more fishing time, especially for fluke, sea bass and tog.

This Marina is extremely clean with easy parking and very clean bathrooms, which are always available. Additionally, there’s no mud to deal with and no more high tide flooding.

Our rates for the upcoming 2025 season will remain the same as the past. No increase!!!

This may very well be the last spring Stiped Bass run and fall Striped Bass run that we will be able to participate in. I’m hoping our fisheries managers will realize the impact of complete closure on this industry when final decisions are made. 

The 2025 book is open. Those who are looking to rebook dates similar to last year should do so in the near future. Remember, this may be the last spring and fall bass run that we will be able to participate in. 

Stay warm! Spring is about two months away!!
