Thames Lake is a reservoir in Georgia, near Fayette County.
This Fayette County water is recorded as Thames Lake, a reservoir, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one sheltered part of the lake until I get a clear read from the first few casts. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one straightforward part of the lake until I get a clear read from the nearby water than make several random moves.
Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Thames Lake, so I would keep those values open until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure while I work one promising starting zone until I get a clear read from the first hour.
A dependable species list for Thames Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with a light spinning setup with a soft plastic and live-bait option around one easy-to-read starting zone, staying flexible until I learn something from the first setup. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one manageable area near the launch on Thames Lake and wait until I learn something from the opening stretch before changing direction.
A practical first day on Thames Lake starts with one nearby area near the launch and one target species; from there I would change one part of the plan before the rest after I find a repeatable bite in the first area. If I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water, I would keep working one short piece of water on Thames Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I find a repeatable bite in the first hour, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one sheltered piece of water so the next trip to Thames Lake starts with a real plan.
