There is no change in status as far as I know. There are still some openings but the first string of cold nights and they will fill in a hurry. Some of the guys were asking about it at the 1000 Island Everstart.

The draw for position seems to have taken some of the urgency out of sign up but as what seems to be the norm this year everyone waits for the last minute.

If we have nice weather coming into this event there could be a lot of big bags. Fish over 6 in July are now very common and it's not uncommon to get more than one 7ish fish in a day. These fish are on steroids this year. I would not be surprised if there wasn't several over 8 weighed in.
