Hey everyone — we need your help before an upcoming clay shoot!

We’re putting together 100 promo items for the event and instead of just ordering a bunch of keychains that end up in the trash before you even get to the parking lot — we actually want to get something people will USE.

So tell us: What’s the best free promo item you’ve ever received at an event that you still have to this day?

We’re talking outdoorsmen, hunters, construction guys, blue collar workers — what actually made it into your truck, your range bag, your toolbox, or your kitchen drawer and stayed there?

Drop it in the comments 👇 We’re taking notes and letting y’all decide. The best answer might just end up in your hands at the shoot.

We have almost met our goal. Almost! We still need just a little more support. As you know, this will be our biggest year yet for Hope On A Boat with 25 participants and a new location. We started early and are probably 2/3 of the way there in fulfilling our needs. We are starting to wind down to the event and are a little over 2 months away. We still need to finish up on our “registry list” of items we need to make the event the success it always has been. We’ve made it easy to give by using our Amazon Registry to purchase items we need. It’s simple, the items are listed and the amounts needed too. You will see if an item has been totally fulfilled also. Purchase whichever items your able too and they will be shipped directly to us. You will be recognized as a contributor to the event on our event banners. We take pride in getting 100% of our needed items donated by friends, the local fishing Comminity, family and other organizations that donate to such causes. We appreciate the continued support of this one of a kind event that allows disabled individuals the opportunity to spend the day on Mobile Bay fishing with a professional fishing guide. Some have never had the chance to fish from a boat and enjoy the event more than you can ever imagine. We live in such a wonderful community and it shows by the support we continually receive for Hope on a Boat. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Lastly, if you know anyone you or groups that may be interested in supporting the event to “share” this post. Thank you in advance! Amazon registry can be found here:

🚨STAR TOURNAMENT UPDATE 6/24/26🚨

Monday morning, 10 year old Brantley Russel Lemley caught and released the SECOND “blue-tagged” redfish of the 2026 STAR Tournament with the help of his brother Lane! Brantley was not registered for the STAR tournament, therefore he was ineligible for the Youth Division Grand “BOTE” Prize Package.

There are still 29 “blue-tagged” redfish swimming in Alabama coastal waters. All you need is one to win the Skeeter Products, Inc SX221 Bay Boat and Yamaha Outboards 200hp Grand Prize valued at over $80,000!

Don’t let TAG-RET happen to you! Register today on the FishingChaos app or on joincca.org/startournament

Four years in underground utilities before we ever touched a camera or flew a drone. That means job sites, dirt, deadlines, and conversations with contractors and GCs who don't have time for people who don't know what they're talking about.

That background didn't go away when we started CTH — it changed how we do business.

On the media side, we work with outdoor brands, construction companies, and businesses that want content that actually looks like what they do. Drone video, brand shoots, social content — built for the people who do the work, not just the people who watch it.

On the thermal side, we run drone-mounted thermal imaging for deer and pet recovery. If you or your kid shot a deer and lost the trail, we fly.

There's nothing quite like putting that deer in front of a first-time hunter — that one never gets old. And if you've lost a dog or a cat, we take that just as seriously. Reuniting somebody with their pet is the reason we do this. That one hits different every time.

We're based in coastal Alabama and stay busy out here. If you need us, you know where to find us.
