There are actually plenty of options.  The DGIF site is a great resource for public lakes, and they list the regulations for each body of water.

 

For instance.....Sandy Bottom and Trashmore are bank only facilities.......all you need to do is a little bit more research and you will find there are hidden gems.  Most if not all have some form of fishing pier to boot.  If that fails, then try and make friends with some of the local anglers that have boats or even better, join the bassjons forum down there and become a co-angler.  They fish tournaments pretty regularly.  Hope that helps

 

Here is the listing of Virginia Lakes on the DGIF site for the Tidewater region of the state....

The majority of the flood control lakes (ponds) are holding really good fish in surprising numbers.

 

Best option for shore - Trashmore.  Easy to get to and DGIF has shocked up good fish.

 

North Landing River is a pay to fish (Private property) but good.

 

Suck it up, save some moeny and buy a kayak.  Everyone in this area is fixated on the bay.   All the better for me.   TONS of areas where kayaks are king in the fresh water here.  Most boats cannot even get into some really choice areas.

 

Hit me here up if you decide thats what you'd lke to do.

Welcome to the site, Dank...

 

Can't get any better than what Hanover suggested. Lots of good areas down your way.

 

Lee Hall and Harwood's Mill are great reservoirs on the Peninsula. And I hear great things about Lake Prince down your way.

 

Best of luck in your endeavors!
