Might be a little tough this time of year. A lot of the yards and marinas close down or keep very few hours once they've winterized the boats. Your best bet might be to shoot them an email or call again once the end of March rolls around. Some may have waiting lists you can get on as well.

sterling is nice spot but if you plan to fish the ocean you have a long ride to inlet. Try #1 utschs #2 snug harbor #3 cape may marina or harbor view #4 if you don't need much water.

Thanks Tuna...will take your advice and wait til march to start calling around. I am familiar with the marinas you mentioned and would be fine with any of them really. My friend has his at collins marina off 47...he said the owner there also said he didnt have anything right now. But im sure something will open up.
