Drifter, a long time ago in Mich. a fellow smoked some salmon for me and he told me in your bucket of water pour enough salt to float a medium size potato. i do this for 24hrs. Last time I used too big a potato and the fish was quite salty. Be warned. White bass takes 2-3 maybe 4 hrs. somewhere between 150 200 degrees. it's hard to keep that temp with wood but you can do it, if it climes to 250 let it, things go faster. You'll have to rotate the fish near the heat source time to time to ensure they all get done at the same time. Good luck.
