Godfrey Lake sits in Giles County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one short part of the lake as the first section and keep fishing it until I get a useful answer from the opening stretch.

Godfrey Lake does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until a verified bathymetric map supports the measurement before trusting a number and stay around one manageable starting zone until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
Public fish information tied specifically to Godfrey Lake is sparse, so I would start with a light spinning setup with a soft plastic and live-bait option around one easy-to-read starting zone and avoid specializing until I get a useful answer from the first adjustment. The first trip to Godfrey Lake is easier to read when the tackle stays simple around one promising area near the launch, at least until I see enough in the nearby water.
If I were seeing Godfrey Lake for the first time, I would work one straightforward area near the launch with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I learn something from the nearby water. If I see a pattern develop in the nearby water, I would stay around one sheltered area near the launch on Godfrey Lake and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful clue from the first setup, I would leave Godfrey Lake knowing that one short piece of water deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
