Fishing Report for New Moon

Type: Chesapeake
Region: Southern
Location: Point Lookout

We went out of Point Lookout and fished the new moon on the morning of October 20. Although we didn't expect to catch much bottom fishing, the bite turned on shortly after sunrise (7:22 am) and off around 10:00 am. Squid and preserved bloodworms were used for bait and we caught a variety of fish including croaker, flounder, sea bass, spot and pufferfish. We returned to the ramp with 20 nice sized spot and 10 large pufferfish. I found a new way to clean pufferfish that takes about 30 seconds per fish, which makes them well worth keeping. I can't wait for the next new moon.
