Get a crayfish pot and a bait box. You can actually make do pretty well with one of those little net bags that clothes washing tablets come in. Stick some meat in this and hang it inside your crayfish pot so that it doesn't sit on the bottom but wafts deliciously in the water. You can use any old meat, including things the fishmonger can't sell, like heads and so forth. Bacon works quite well, though I don't know why. Prime your pot, stick it in the water and come back a day later to harvest your bottom feeding dinner. You should be able to catch enough for dinner every time you want to eat for free, as long as you plan ahead. Search on youtube for ray mears crayfish in order to learn how to kill them cleanly and remove the alimentary canal. You need to look out for scallies nicking your pot though. Ain't that always the truth.
