Title says it all really 
Im a 21 y/o male from Norwich called "Harris" [<-- Yeah its my first name] looking to get into spearo, I love fresh fish and would eat it a lot more often if I could afford it [the gf says its too much money] which is fair cop as we are doing the student thing at the moment. It's not like we are poor or anything but I struggle to persuade her that the side of [insert fish name here] would be worth the £14.
I think it will be a great way to keep fit, do some exploration and having to catch your own dinner by hunting on your own breath hold sounds exhilarating.
I have read the forums for a while but there are a few bits of information that I am struggling to find. Does anyone know whether spearfishing in the lake district is ok? I went on their site and it only talked about rod fishing
Also I gather that the coastline around lancaster area [black pool etc] are less than clean and is probably muddy. Does anyone know of nice areas nearby that would be a bit gentle for a newbie? North Wales is not too far of a journey I guess... Do people spear during winter? I have pretty much missed summer and I guess the weather is too rough for coastal fishing.
Also are there any brands of speargun or other equipment I should steer clear off? Or take a look at [Though I realise it will be largely on personal preference].
Many thanks.
Azure.
