I am playing in a low-power gestalt campaign (jumbo shrimp, amirite?) And I have 49k gold to mess around with for items which are flavorful but don't necessarily need to be good. My character concept is basically an old fisherman who watches the movement of fish to tell the future, and uses his handy fishing pole to yank "fish" out of the astral sea to cause spell effects. Do you have any off the top suggestions on items that could be fun to mess around with? Assume I'm a spirit shaman/psion with focus on divination and summoning.

Example: Eveloping pit filled with water, plants and fish to form a self contained aquarium/fishing hole to whip out while traveling if he can't find a more natural fishing spot.

Fishing nets with forced manifestation and/or dimensional anchor effects. Fishbaits that attract creatures that he could use as allies/ask to attack opponents for him.

Folding boat or a couple feather token swan boat, horn of fog or horn of the tritons and wind fan are all from the SRD.

Its time has come at last (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#tridentofFishCommand).

I'm also imagining one of those carnival games where you turn over a rubber duck to see if you get a prize. Could be something like that with divination stuff written on the bottom of them.

Decanter of Endless Water.

Not just for supplies but apparently you have also invented the Jetboat


Ring of Sustenance - for when you get shipwrecked


Immovable Rod - Handy Anchor


Is there something that produces Ice or preserves corpses to keep the catch fresh?

An item of Gentle Repose would do it. Scraping a bunch of Brown Mold (https://www.d20srd.org/srd/dungeons.htm#slimesMoldsAndFungi) into a closed metal container could give you an ice brick to freeze them.
