Bought my spear guns from "ocean sports" and "divers den" a long time ago. Don't even know if these stores are still around and if they still carry the "guns". Spring is the best time to chase them right after they spawn as they are still in the shallows, water clarity is still okay, and can be done with just simple snorkel gear. Later on in the summer, when they move into the deeper water, scuba gear makes it easier to chase after them.
For perch the "three prong" headed spear is the best choice.
Had lots of fun chasing them little buggers. On another note, you need to make sure you have a "divers flag" with you while spear fishing.
