Hi JP
There are a couple of day ticket waters close to Dartford, Brooklands Lake (aka Goodwood in Jack Hilton’s Quest for Carp) run by DDAPS where you can buy tickets on the bank. £15 the day I believe so not cheap. Your best bet here would be maggot feeder but if you want to float fish there are plenty of areas with a bit of bankside cover. There’s also Darenth Fishery a couple of miles outside of Dartford. There are several lakes there but I’ve not fished it for thirty five years or so. Slightly further afield is The Glades which is at Sidcup. I’ve caught quite a fewTench from here float fishing the dam end. Tickets on the bank and far more wallet friendly.
I can’t find a link to the Glade (Lamorbey AnglingClub) at the moment I’m afraid. Let me know if you want a walk round and I’ll meet up if you want.
