The bay and its rivers make for tremendously different fishing environments. The further up the bay and/or the farther up a river you go, the less salty the water and so different species - from bluefish to largemouth. In general there are also more species available the further south you go toward tidewater VA.
Public shore access is limited compared to how much shore there actually is but the kayaks give you a lot of flexibility on location. Depending on weather and wind, day trips from Sandy Point park at the Bay Bridge vertical jigging rockfish is a possibility. On smaller water, casting lures along shoreline in sheltered river locations will catch white perch if not other species and is likely to make for good fishing action. There really is a lot more opportunity than these simple suggestions, once you focus in on what you want to do and look into it more.
