Meeting Pond is a Levy County water, Florida side. Land around it is warm bottomland. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. The closest town, Bronson, is 7.1 miles distant. After that come Newberry at 7.3 miles and East Bronson at 7.4 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.
The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, largemouth bass and warmouth. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. On Meeting Pond a short move beats a long cast.
Averages move between 55°F in January and 81°F in July. Summer is the season to work around, not winter. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Meeting Pond.
Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Mineral Feeder Pond is 0.4 miles distant. Check the position at Meeting Pond before loading the car.
