I had this big elaborate post typed up..but then I accidentally closed the browser window ><
There are options. If you go through and did what I was doing, go to the items search, and start searching each armor category for gathering, output and perception, and you'll be able to piece together a set (or sets) of current gear that works best for you. The key is finding a balance between the stats. More gathering is going to let you pull up fish easier, while output will let you pull up more fish more often. I can't remember what perception does for the life of me, but there are some slots where it's the only stat you can get so you should fill that slot with it.
Edit: Had some free time at work so I put together a quick list. The fishing rod and off hand are the best items that I can tell.
