Marlin snook They resemble the marlin with their huge eye and anal fin. A smaller snook, usually 2 to 3 lbs., they make for great fun on ultralight tackle, easily caught within fresh hatches of shrimps because they often clear the water completely in their excitement to fill their bellies. Tarpon snook can be found in the main river channel as well as in the back lagoons and creeks. Small bucktail jigs or flies will fool them and they also make for great table fare. The locals refer to them as "cara seca" which means dry face.
