Getting tired of this

[Inexile]

I am tired of trying to catch fogu, his last storm lasted about 45 minutes i found 47 fishing nodes in that time and fished everyone and not a single gold node spawned, i have about 5 hours now just spent trying to catch this damned fish

You are correct to fish for the Fugu during a thunderstorm. (not just when it rains) However you still need to be lucky enough to get a gold circle and even then actually getting a fugu from that is rare. That is why it is the rarest fish to get in the game.

There is a way to increase your chances somewhat though:
Fish the white and blue circles when it does not rain and leave the golden circles alone. It will take a while, but you can actually get all the circles to become gold this way. (it may help to also fish all the golden circles in the other biomes, though I'm not sure about that) Then when all of the circles (or at least a lot of them) are gold, wait for a thunderstorm and then fish them all up. In my experiments with this I ended up with between 1-3 fugu per round myself.

craft a miracle fishing bait if you don't already have one, wait for a storm to hit, use it, and then run down to the beach. Fish only the white spots which will turn gold because of the bait. I did the same, and caught 8 of them.

I've also had luck catching them by using miracle bait and fishing the white spots when it storms on Dazzle Beach, I think I caught two or three.

Yes and don't forget to take a fishing friend with you.

This works for me. I usually catch at least five or six each storm...got over 35 in storage.

Hint: The gold spots on the map are all shared. So, if there are already 5 gold spots, no more will spawn. You have to fish up the gold spots in the other biomes and hope one appears on the beach and not any of the other biomes.

You can see this working by going to all the biomes as soon as you log in and see they always appear in the same spot every day. Fish up all the spots in the Frosted Heights, then go to the Forgotten Lands and fish the gold spot, run back to Frosted Heights and a gold spot will have spawned.

This is a genius idea.

It doesn't have to be a storm and it doesn't have to be night. Earlier today I did my daily fishing in rain, just regular light rain, middle of the afternoon, and caught 6 fogu in about ten minutes using miracle fishing bait.

This. I've also mentioned this before in another thread. The common misconception is that it HAS to be thunderstorms when, in fact, it does not.
