I've seen people talking about a male or female LMB and a male of female BG. I've searched the forum to find how this is done but can't find any. Are there any links to "sexing" LMB and BG?

Sometimes (for me most of the time) the search function here on the forum doesn't work so well. I've had better results manually looking in the archives (there's enough info there that you could read for a week and still not read everything) or doing a google search such as "sexing Bluegill pond boss".

This is a link to the archive thread about sexing BG. Is this what you were looking for? http://forums.pondboss.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=258505#Post258505

As for reliably sexing LMB, unless you use a catheter during spawning, it ain't gonna happen. At least not as reliably as I'd want to for any pond where I specifically wanted single sex LMB in it.

The updated forum address is http//: "forums.pondboss.com/ubbthr..."

The old forum address was www."pondboss.com/forums/ubbthre..."


Is this the link you were looking for ewest?

Comparing the enticing post topic title to it's actual contents results in vast disappointment in my world.

The tip AaronM gave us for searching the site is to type your key words, then add, after a space site:pondboss.com and google will only search the PB servers.

eg sexing bluegill site:pondboss.com

VAST huh?

Yes that is it -- the question is how to fix them and with Shorty's help the fix is to move - /forums - as set out below and it should work.

Example - change this

So, the fish sex thread is dead? Kinda disappointed it never really went anywhere exciting, and didn't even illicit a response from BGK or Bob-O, either. I'm so juvenile.

I posted a thread on sexing yellow perch complete with illustrations and pictures. No clue where it is and I'm not exactly enamoured by the search engine here either.

Oh wait here it is:

Looks like Google does a better job than the onsite search engine. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Our wonderful late friend, Dr. Dave Willis, wrote a great article in Pond Boss Magazine back in 2005 about the X-rated secret sex lives of bluegills.

It can be downloaded from here: The Secret Sex Life of Bluegill.
