Can u catch sunfish when its raining?

[Ismaeel]

So its raining i have just one day to catch 2 sunfish for a quest. is it doable?

No, sorry.
Only possibility of catching sunfish when it's raining is if it's your first catch ever - then for your "tutorial" fish under some conditions it can be sunfish even during wrong weather, and even if you fish at the ocean (confirmed at least in 1.5 - idk if 1.6 changed that).
But that would still be only 1 fish - unless you get to higher fishing level without actually fishing or crab pots, get a fiberglass or better rod, and use one of 2 baits that give a possibility of more than 1 fish. But while in theory it is possible - it's not going to help you in your current situation.

Sorry, but essentially - no.
Thing is - you aren't punished for not completing those quest.
If you do turn them in - you get rewards, and if you don't - you gain nothing but also lose nothing (except your time if you already invested in doing it).
And there's always next quest next day (or one after that - soon!).
You wouldn't believe how many times I've got "catch catfish" quests when there's been no rain for weeks... At least Demetrius isn't asking for Sardines in Summer anymore.

Yeah, it's pretty common to fail those quests if you haven't built up a stockpile of everything that gets requested.

Not a big deal, but annoying when it happens.

its not a big deal to fail these bulletin board quests, look at them more as optional objectives
