Smoked Catfish

Has anyone smoked catfish? If so do you brine it like salmon? What temp do you use?

I've been smoking food for 20+ years but I've never done fish before.
A local BBQ joint has some smoked catfish that's out of this world good but the owner wouldn't tell me how he does it...LOL. I tried some the other day and it dried out and stuck to the grates pretty bad. I was only using 190 degrees for 20 mins?
