try this,, after you take your fish out of the brine and rinse it off , let it air dry overnight,, this will put a glaze on the peice of fish and lock in moisture the fish has and reduces the chance of the juices being let out...or something like that,,,some fish like springers you cant get away from them dripping so i stagger them in my smoker so they dont drip on each other but smoker is a 50lb model so its a little easeir to go this...
