Thankfully, over for the next three weeks. I'm sitting at home waiting on a 24-120 f4 I rented for the weekend to get here... Thinking about putting some tubes on it as you did with the 200-400 and seeing what I end up with

You'd be amazed how many green darners and other dragonflies make their way onto my rig. Most of them hitch rides on the boats that bring out cargo to the rig. My avatar, for instance, is a green darner that I found out on the rig. Thing is, there's little to no food out there for them. Most usually survive a day, if that.
