Summer Flounder and White Marlin full Moon

King Nummy Island is in the distance and lit up by the Summer Flounder Full Moon

The Summer Flounder Full Moon that occurs in August is an event from above that signifies the peak of ocean flounder fishing in the southern waters of New Jersey and Delaware. This full moon also heralds the arrival of the White Marlin. According to legend, it was named by King Nummy of the Lenape Indian tribe. King Nummy Island, the burial ground of this revered leader, is bathed in the bright light of the summer flounder moon tonight. As you can see in the photo. I would bet the winning White Marlin of the Ocean City White Marlin Open tournament will be caught this Sunday.https://whitemarlinopen.com. The Flounder Pounder Open is this week. It is the largest flounder tournament in the world. I am sure they scheduled the tournament around the Summer Flounder Full Moon.https://flounderpounderde.com
