Joe Wright of Stafford, Virginia, fishes off the end of the Port Royal Landing in Caroline County, Virginia, on May 9, 2016. Wright said he only fishes for an hour at a time—just long enough to finish a cigar. The new pier also features a soft launch for paddlers and was funded by grants from the National Park Service, Friends of the Rappahannock, the Chesapeake Conservancy and other organizations.

You can find a map of public access sites here: https://www.chesapeakebay.net/action/visit. There appear to be several public access sites along the Rappahannock near the Bay. Some that I found with public boat access include Upper Mill Creek Landing, the Urbanna Town Marina and Greenvale Creek Landing.
