![A GPS is handy in finding your way to the Powroznik family hideaway on the south end of Chesapeake Bay. Expect to see a lot of blue on your screen when you get near.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/120JPaa201.jpeg)

![Neighbor and close friend Wesley is a full-time man of the sea â heâs grading crabs in this photo based on shell color â deciding which are near molting to be ready for ideal eating â and which need a few days to soften-up in his float basket.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/620JPa206.jpeg)
![Wesley seldom runs out of customers, because it seems every food item in the region is fair game for crabmeat â including breakfast biscuits.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/720JPo207.jpeg)
![Just behind Wesley, three anglers try their luck in a small boat in the Bayâs protected inlet](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/820JPi208.jpeg)
![Evan Williams Bourbon pro Hank Cherry pulls a rope to help Powroznik raise the tower. Powroznik and Cherry are good buddies, and Cherry jokes that Powroznik treats him like a poorly paid rookie first mate.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/920JPp209.jpeg)
![Powroznik spends most of his time up top on the tower where he can see Cobia near the surface far better than if steering from the console below.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1020JPd2010.jpeg)
![Nearly all successful saltwater anglers start their day by making sure thereâs plenty of live bait onboard. Powroznik prefers live eels for Cobia fishing.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1120Jp2011.jpeg)
![A 7/0 âoctopusâ style hook snatches the eel through the head. A towel must be used to grip the super slippery bait for rigging.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1220Jp2012.jpeg)
![Once rigged, the eel is placed in a bucket of water to be kept alive, but also so that itâs ready to be cast in a fast second if a Cobia is spotted.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1320Jp2013.jpeg)
![Huge buoys or âcansâ are prime targets for Cobia to swim near. They often swim just under the surface beside the buoys. Powroznik says they appear colored like an Aaronâs Magic finesse worm from his boatâs tower, but sized like railroad ties.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1420JPe2014.jpeg)

![Cobia fishing proves frustratingly tough. So like he does with such proficiency as a top-ranked pro bass angler â Powroznik adjusts, and begins to cut strips of Cobia belly saved from a previous trip â to be used as bait for flounder.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1720JPq2017.jpeg)
![The strips of Cobia belly trim the back of a 2-ounce bucktail jig, and are cast on standard bass fishing rods and reels.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1820JPr2018.jpeg)
![The plan works as Powroznik scores a Flounder from beneath the Chesapeake Bay Bridge â which he refers to as âThe Brushpile of the Bay.â](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/1920Jp20flounder2019.jpeg)
![Whatever giant creature Livingston Lures pro Hank Cherry hooked-up with was never seen. It took him for a short ride with a bent rod, and a bead of sweat on his forehead, before finally breaking his line.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2020JPs2020.jpeg)
![Each day ends at the Powroznik house on Potato Neck Road with a richness of friendship, family, faith, lots of fishing chatter, perhaps a cold adult beverage or three â and great food. Powroznik is preparing Ceviche using lots of lime juice.](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2120JPn2021.jpeg)
