On a semi-related note, people are now saying there's a 2nd fish that can be desynthed into waterproof cotton: http://xivdb.com/?item/7923/Sweetnewt

that newt is a bigger pain in the ass then the olgoi ;D
And it would be the third fish, not the second. The Lone Ripper also can desynth into Waterproof Cotton.
So far, I'm finding the Lone Ripper to be the best for getting waterproof cotton. It has no time requirement, only weather (same as Olgoi), so every weather shift, I pop into Aleport to see if it's Gales. If it is, I fish for 8 hours (24 minutes) at the friendly Sahagin camp. The two big reasons I think Lone Ripper is better are that they are tradable and they are a straight catch (no mooching needed).

For the life of me I've been trying for days to catch the Olgoi and still no luck, 368 gathering and 300 perception- I did a few HQ Magic Carpets though. Using sand leech in heatwave weather and nothing up to this point.
If you're getting Magic Carpets, you may be in the wrong place

I thought the same thing too but I was in the correct spot in the east side of the map, I also caught monkfish and Caravan Eel on the east side of the map as well, even though it shows you aren't able to catch the sangli monkfish on the east side of the map at Sangoli Dunes.....strange I'll have to try it again
Southeast is still sagolii monkfish territory. The only spot where you can fish up Olgoi is the spot next to the amaljaa encampment.
Also, the game actually tells you where you are fishing now when you cast(I love this). If it says you're fishing at Sagolii Desert, you're in the Sagolii Monkfish/Magic Carpet area. If it says you are fishing in the Sagolii Dunes, it's the Caravan Eeel/Olgoi area.

Then something must be wrong then, I was at the Sangoli Dunes, x25, y37 same place that shows on the fishing Log- that's where I caught the monkfish, eel and the magic carpet. Must be glitched or something- I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens
