[catfish hunter]

I was put on call today at work so I couldnt go fishing so I made up a brine last night and soaked some trout
1 cup salt
7 cups water
1/4 cup adobo
garlic
onion poweder
and a bunch of cajin seasoning to give it some zing

I put them in the smoker and remembered I didnt add suger so I thought I wasted them ,I went out to the garage and found some pear wood that I found last year and used it ,I just had my first one hot off the racks and it came out great ,the cajin seasoning gave it a nice flavor and the pear wood made it sweat .I need about 100 more like this for the season and I will be set for the year

My gf and I tried this last night with the trout I brought home on opening day:

It was supplemented with a sweet potato and mixed veggies. Very simple!

Catfish, How do you keep the trout while you are catching enough for a batch to smoke? Do you freeze them or just smoke six at a time.

I vac seal them and freeze if I am only fishing a couple times a week but if I fish 4-5 days in a row I just leave in fridge.

Everything tastes better smoked [tasty] I've never smoked fish...how long did it take?

 

[catfish hunter]

2-3 hours tops it don't take long I wait till I reach a temp of 150 or so then they are done.
