Decided to go old fashion for some fish last night

Relaxing by the pool with a full belly. We have bobcats and coyote's down in the creek.
Old School - nice!
Nicely done.
The meal looks great and you have a very nice pool!
Nice old school cook! I am never too far from my trusty old Weber.
Crazy this afternoon about 4 the girls hit the volleyball over the fence. One went down to get it and said: "Something growled at me in the bushes." I was inside getting my trunks on. When I walked out I saw a bobcat walking along the path. I personally enjoy the wildlife around. Some folks freak out.
A very Good looking meal. My trusty Weber is never too far away, although it is easy for me to admit that my Bradley is the easiest smoking that I have ever done. I live in the country and lots of wildlife is the common thing around here. Cayotes, wild boar, wildcats, and now a mountain lion has been spotted on the ranch next to me. When I don't hear coyotes, I know the mountain lion is still in the neighborhood.
Funny thing is OldHickory, I live in a city with 120,000 population.
That is quite a diverse neighborhood you have there in the big city. Surprise
Although I have some cedar planks I've never used them. So they get hot enough to cook the fish and not burn? Do you soak them first or something? I see lots of wildlife at work. For the first time ever I saw four baby skunks last week walking down the side of the road. Not counting the tail they were about 6 inches long, not even a pound yet. And no I didn't try to pet them! ;D
You soak the planks for about an hour. I use them opposite side of the charcoal.
DT,
Thanks, we were on a fish kick awhile back and got off of it. But you never know when it may come back around?
I'm all out of cedar planks. I love them for salmon. The Tilapia usually goes into a pan (blackened) or the deep fryer.
Looks good Aggie.
The planks are handy on the smaller fish - keeps it from going through the grill.
I've never used planks but Woot has them today. If interested check it out before midnight 6/22/2010 because the site offers one deal a day so it will change after midnight. Everything from there is shipped for $5 even if it's a TV or computer and you can buy up to three of the items for the same $5 shipping. They also take paypal.

Thanks for the tip DM. Just ordered some of the planks.

Glad you scored Arnie. It's a neat site, I watch it daily and often find deals.
That is a good price. I paid $8.99 for 4 at the local market. Mine look a bit thicker so you can use them more than once if you keep them from direct heat.
Well... I'll admit it. BOBCATS FREAK ME OUT.
There. I said it.
(that's why I keep my growing herd of killer rabbits well-fed. Arrr.)
Hal - some neighbors worry but I enjoy them. Keep the dang rabbit population down
