1/2 cup salt
1 cup sugar
2 TBSP allspice

Mix it all up real good. Put the fish in a deep baking dish and cover with the brine. Let it sit for 8-10 hours. Take the pieces out of the brine and rinse them off. Arrange them on the smoker grills and let them drip dry for an hour or so. Smoke until they have the consistency you like.

I did some humpy this weekend and it was yummy!

do a search for brine recipes and you may find some more.

Smoking humpies? Use more KY.

thanks for info :

Humpies make fine eating if they are taken in salt water or in the very lower reaches of the rivers and gutted and iced quickly and cooked within a day or so of being caught. Brushing them with a little olive oil and chopped rosemary or dill before popping them on the grill helps since they aren't as oily as some other salmon. The fact that they aren't as oily as some other salmon makes them one of the poorest choices for smoking.

Looks like RT has been "smokin'" some humpies too!
