What does “Red-Meating” my striper catch while fileting mean?

• Red-meated fish (such as striped bass) have a noticeable red or dark-colored muscle tissue, often found along the lateral line of the fish. This tissue is rich in myoglobin, a protein that stores oxygen and gives the meat its red color
• In striped bass, this red meat can have a stronger flavor compared to the white meat, which is milder and more delicate.

Why This Matters

• Flavor Profile: The red meat of striped bass can be more flavorful and sometimes preferred by those who enjoy a stronger taste.
• Preparation: Some people choose to remove the red meat during filleting to achieve a milder flavor in their dishes. Our process of fileting provides the best of both worlds.

• Layered Clothing: Dress in layers to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day. This is especially important during spring and fall when temperatures can vary significantly.
• Weather-Appropriate Gear: Wear weather-appropriate clothing, such as rain gear if there’s a chance of rain, and sun-protective clothing during sunny days.
• Footwear: Comfortable, non-slip shoes are recommended. Avoid sandals or flip-flops, as they may not provide adequate protection or grip on the boat.
• Hats and Sunglasses: A hat and sunglasses are essential for sun protection and reducing glare on the water.
• Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays, even on cloudy days.
• Life Jackets: While guides typically provide life jackets, it’s important to wear them at all times for safety.
