The New Moon occurs when the Moon is on the Sun side of Earth. It is the opposite of a full-moon. There are two reasons you might be able to see it.

1. During Moon rise or Moon set, the lighted part of the moon could be visible from your location.

2. Light reflected from the Earth could be sufficient to light the Moon enough to be seen via Earth-light.

Why is it better to go fishing when the moon is not visible in the sky?

Okay, some facts first. I have been fishing for 50 years. The position or phase of the moon does not have any real impact on fishing success. I have "killed them" in supposedly "bad" times to fish, and been skunked during supposedly "good" times - and numerous examples of both! That being said: It is supposedly better to fish on a waxing moon (between new moon and full) than a waning moon (from full moon to New Moon). And believe me - your mileage may vary. Something that affects fishing success muchmore than moon phase is weather patterns, as far as "high pressure" and "low pressure" systems.

That happens at the times of the First Quarter and Last Quarter phases. "Half moon" is actually not a bad description for what you see at that time. It's more than a crescent, but less than gibbous.
