From shore or in a boat? What are you fishing for?
Either side of the Potomac has plenty of good places to fish. Depends what you're fishing for, what time of year, how the tide is running, etc., etc. A lot of it you can't really get to very well without a boat though.
It's a big river. Everything from Riverbend, the ponds on the MD side at Great Falls, Cabin John/Fletchers, Kennedy Center seawall, Roosevelt Island, Washington Channel, Pentagon Marina, 4 Mile Run, Air Force base wall and docks, old Pepco plant, Blue Plains, the spoils north MD side of the bridge, islands around Belle Haven, a few places off of the Parkway where creeks dump in on the VA side, and on down the river...
Note that you need a DC license from the Wilson Bridge up-river to Little Falls. No reciprocal license with VA or MD for that section of the river. Below the bridge you have VA/MD reciprocal licensing.
