Mr. McGonagle presented the problems at Mashpee Wakeby Pond and the State boat ramp. Due to budget cuts, the state is no longer able to take charge of this problem. McGonagle feels the Bass Association has total domination of the pond and fishing is encouraged around personal property resulting in area thefts. He would like to keep the fishermen away from personal property (within 50' ) and keep the speed limit to 50. m.p.h. Selectman Jacobson agrees with Mr. McGonagle. The ramp can be regulated and the Police should patrol the area. Permits should not be issued for more than 30 boats, parking should not be allowed at the Town Hall and the Police should ticket any vehicles parked improperly.
