This Giles County water is recorded as Sanders Lake, a lake, and I would spend the first part of the trip around one nearby section of bank until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. On unfamiliar water, I would rather fish one manageable section of bank until I get a useful answer from the first area than make several random moves.

Sanders Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Surface area, maximum depth, and storage are not well documented for Sanders Lake, so I would keep those values open until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number while I work one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I see enough in the first few casts.

Fishing This Water

A dependable species list for Sanders Lake is still hard to verify, so a first trip makes more sense with one light rod with a jig, worm, and float around one promising shoreline stretch, staying flexible until I learn something from the first few casts. I would rather use a small selection of dependable baits around one promising section of water on Sanders Lake and wait until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour before changing direction.

A Practical Sanders Lake Game Plan

A practical first day on Sanders Lake starts with one straightforward section of water and one target species; from there I would change location before rebuilding the tackle plan after I get a useful answer from the first hour. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would keep working one sheltered part of the lake on Sanders Lake and treat that as the main lesson from the first visit. If I learn something from the opening stretch, I would keep track of the depth and presentation around one short part of the lake so the next trip to Sanders Lake starts with a real plan.
