Johnson Pond is a lake in Maryland, near Wicomico County.
Johnson Pond, often called Johnsons Pond, is freshwater bass water right in Salisbury. It is the Eastern Shore's largest freshwater impoundment, with enough shoreline to explore by small boat. Bass and pickerel are the bigger targets, while crappie and sunfish make lighter tackle worth bringing.
Cast a weedless worm around shoreline cover for largemouth, then use a small jig to check nearby openings for crappie. Pickerel can hit the same moving lures intended for bass. If you keep getting short strikes, change the retrieve before changing the entire tackle box. A slow pause beside cover can make a difference.
Use the established Johnsons Pond boat-ramp access in Salisbury. Shore fishing is more limited than fishing from a boat, so stay within the public access area rather than crossing adjoining residential property. A canoe or kayak lets you work a longer stretch of bank at your own pace.
This pond is a Special Bass Management Area. Read its current bass rules before keeping fish. A shoreline walk or paddle fits the setting, but it is a fishing pond among neighborhoods, so keep launches, yards and private docks clear.
