Summary

Michael Medrano is an angler and author who recently published a book on the Stilt Houses of Texas. Together with the photographer, Tim Romano, they traveled the entire Intracoastal waterway in Texas by boat, knocking on the doors of the homes found along that path—over 400 doors to be exact. Nowhere else in the country does a community exist where homes are constructed on stilts and placed in the water. Stilt Houses of Texas takes you on a photographic adventure to explore the State-run program in the breathtaking bays along the Texas coast. Tom and Michael were first acquainted on the remote flats of Christmas Island as they were both taking their boys of similar ages on a graduation trip. They fished together the entire week and became fast friends.  You can find and buy the book at https://www.stilthouses.com or follow Michael on Instagram @stilthouse This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors: Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.com Get 30% off any order on Hukgear.com by using the code SE30 at checkout Get 20% off + free shipping on products from Manscaped.com by using the code TRP Kettle and Fire make Bone Broth that is Whole 30, Paleo and Keto Friendly.  It is made from Grass-fed and grass-finished beef bones, organic pasture-raised chicken and is Non-GMO.  It contains all the essential nutrients your body needs to thrive like collagen, protein, and amino acids.  Cooking your own is messy and time-consuming.  Go to Kettleandfire.com/waypoint to get yours delivered straight to your door.
