Apart from trips on sunny sundays this is what our Eagle does for its own, pulling a fishing boat on a trailer. I am a lucky inconsiderate person that lives on a 5 mins trip from one of the best pike-perch (something like bass) fishingwaters in Europe......

Great looking combo! Looks like a great day. How large is the lake near you?

Hello Eagleearl,

It's about 60,000 acres, one of the biggest sweet water basins in Europe. Its where a couple of rivers meet the sea, but due to the "Deltawerken" (big dams to protect Holland from flooding when heavy storm occur) there is no tide and no salt water anymore. A paradise for pike-perch fisherman....

Great.  You should be able to find a suitable category for Eagle of the Month to enter.

Looks great. Jim, how about  a category for an Eagle towing a recreational vehicle? Such as a boat, motorcycle, jetski, travel trailer etc.

Very nice pictures.  I think I only towed my fishing boat with the Eagle once before I gave away the boat.
