The second, and final regularly scheduled, CAB meeting of the year will be May 4 in Gulf Shores. Typically a draft of the upcoming season dates will be presented then, and finalized afterward by the DCNR attorneys if any changes are necessary. That could take several weeks but sometimes haven't been officially posted until late summer. Usually, though, the draft dates are or have been reliable.
