Hilliard Pond is one of the named reservoir waters in Middlesex County, so I would begin around one easy-to-read section of bank and avoid a long move until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. I would rather understand one section well than skim five, so I would stay around one promising shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the first few casts.
Published physical measurements are limited for Hilliard Pond, so I would avoid borrowing numbers from another lake until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and fish one straightforward shoreline stretch until I see enough in the first few casts.
Fish recorded for Hilliard Pond include Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, so I would make one clear target the opening focus around one sheltered shoreline stretch and stay with it until I learn something from the first few casts. For largemouths at Hilliard Pond, I would start with a search bait around one sheltered section of water and move to a jig or Texas rig when I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
