I used to launch out of Keyport, was berthed there to for two seasons. But it was always faster for me to go down 36 and have the boat right at my fishing grounds.
Plus I have found some nice spots outside that produce and I run to the shrewsbury rocks frequently as that is the best fishing on the Jersey Coast. So all in from even Keyport it was too long of a run. Now i round the Hook and head offshore witha 30 - 45 minute run. Much better, especially if the sea are churning which seems to be most of the time this season.

I used to have slip #4 out of Leonardo State marina... it was great .. 2 miles run past the pier, then straight across the bay and out false hook channel towards whatever fishing grounds we were going to. I've always loved fishing Shrewsbury rocks.. much better than the mud hole or the tin can grounds..(which are my other two favorite places).. You're right, it's a run for sure.. but going down river or up river is nice and flat and I can really let it all hang out.. 40-50 depending on river traffic and location.. it's really a fun ride... plus, up by the power station near Secaucus there's great Striper fishing.. tons of shorts, but fun to catch, and occasionally a real cow that will bend your rod and your arms... 
(oh, and make mine a Redhead please... God I'm a sucker for red hair, green eyes and freckles..)
