Misha-
I have spent lots of time fishing in Rehoboth slightly north of Ocean City. Basically take the same approach you would fishing for bass, etc., look for structure. While I am not familiar with the area near Ocean Pines where you could launch, I would head out to the points across from Mankin Creek over by Horse Island (that is what the Google map showed). There is probably a jetty/rock weir /pier/bridge piling relatively close paddle distance. Those typically hold fish.
I would use the kayak to find wadable water and either beach it or tether it to yourself and wet wade blind casting into spots that look fishy. Flounder are around there but you will need sinking line to get down to them. You will also find croakers which are a smaller relative of the redfish. Great fight on a small rod.
For the surf, I would throw intermediate line with a short leader. Most fish are in closer than you think. They eat the clams/sand fleas/bait fish right in the break or just past it. You will definitely need a stripping basket for fishing in the surf.
My brother in law lives there a fishes for flounder all the time. I could ask him where if you like.
Check out the following for some reports:

If you crack the surf code let me know. I have yet to catch a fish with a fly rod out of the surf in DE but have caught lots of fish in Rehoboth Bay. I caught my first fish out of the surf in FL a few weeks ago and the guy I was with gave me the above setup. I got a couple of blues and a Jack so it worked.

Hey TPFR,I'm headed to Ocean City, MD this weekend. I'm still relatively inexperienced at saltwater fly fishing. Could someone help me interpret the following swell/wind forecast and what it's going to mean for the fishing on Sunday and Monday?I'm thinking it looks pretty good.... maybe it will be worth it to hit the Assateague surf? I will also have a kayak and can launch from this neighborhood in Ocean Pines.Any thoughts would be appreciated!Misha
