Anyone ever done this? any tips?
Thanks

I've smoked a handful using a soysauce/brown sugar brine. I smoke most of my fish whole but for pike I have better luck just smoking fillets unless it's a real small/skinny guy.

Thank you!

Love the stuff do it a bunch.
Brine:
Put 1/2 quart of apple juice in a pot on the stove, bringing to low boil & then down to simmer.
Add to this;
6 ounces of soy sauce
1/2 cup of non-iodized salt
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 tsp of Garlic powder
1/2 tsp of Onion powder
1/2 tsp of Cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp of Dried Bay Leaf Flakes (or 2 or 3 fresh bay leaves)
Stir until salt is dissolved. Then add 1 1/2 quarts of water & ice to cool quickly.
Soak in the brine for 4 hours. I use Alder or apple wood.

Do you skin the fish or do you leave the skin on?

I skin the fillets first. It adds too strong a flavor for me. I remove the y-bones, brine and smoke away. Sometimes I leave it in the smoker at a reduced temp once the fillets hit 145 degrees for another hour or so to further dry the fish. Makes great jerky too.

Should be great. I do panfish and bass with it too.
