caught a limit of good eatin' sized rockfish (striped bass) this weekend on the Chesapeake. Kept 2 whole for the smoker. I ended up just scaling and filleting them and brined them in 2 cups water, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup salt for about an hour. Got the ECB fired up and threw the fillets on with some lemon pepper and butter. Soaked a couple hickory chunks and kept the smoke going for about an hour and 15 minutes at 225*. Man oh man, it was to die for!

sorry no Q-view. The family was too hungry. It didn't last long enough for pics.

We in Fla have alot of striped bass here not as popular as some of the other but still plentiful.
