Let's see how long it stays open this year after last year's disaster of an early closing?

Looks like we might not get to last years August 12th. early closure. We are already at 1mt of the 2.3mt allotted. The inshore bite has not heated up yet either. Further offshore is on fire with one guy I know had 71 BFT one day and 51 the next, plus a BET, keeping his 3 fish BFT limit each day.
