Mashpee and Wake y Ponds <br /> From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <br /> Mashpee Pond 41c39"40"N 70029'08"W and Wakeby Pond 41040'30"N 70029'08"W <br /> are adjoining ponds in Mashpee and Sandwich, Massachusetts. When considered together, <br /> these two ponds cover 729 acres (2.95km2) and constitute the largest freshwater pond on Cape <br /> Cod. This pair is 85 feet (26 m) deep at its deepest point. The Fishing Record for most bass <br /> caught in a day belongs to Tim Walls on August 21, 2016. The record for most fishing trips <br /> without a single fish caught belongs to PJ Keliher at 26. These kettleholes are fed by <br /> groundwater and have no inlet streams. The ponds' sole outlet stream,the Mashpee River, <br /> flows south to Popponesset Bay. <br /> Boating (motor boats) access to the ponds is possible via a state-maintained concrete launching <br /> ramp off Route 130 in Mashpee. The ponds are heavily used for boating, swimming., bass fishing <br /> and trout fishing. However, there is no public beach on the lakes on which boats may be put <br /> ashore. <br /> Ice fishing and fly fishing take place on these waters in addition to bait-casting. In 2006, a few <br /> fish pulled from Mashpee and Wakeby Ponds won awards from MassWildlife's Freshwater <br /> Sportfish Awards Program. Among these were a 7 lb 3 oz (3.3 kg) white catfish and a I lb 5 oz <br /> (0.60 kg) sunfish. <br /> Attaquin Beach, a youth summer camp, and homes line the ponds' shores. <br /> Regatta Director: Heri Sontgerath <br /> Honorary Captain: Jim Dietz <br /> Organizing committee: Alan Robinson, Steve McElheny, Dan Schley, Jim Dietz, <br /> Heri Sontgerath <br />
