ABOUT BHIGGLES
Hey world! I’m BHiggles.
I LUV to bass fish in Boonville, Indiana and surrounding areas. Normally I fish from a 14′ hand made cypress strip wood boat but since Covid-19 restrictions hit the United States my friends and I have been finding ways to be together, yet socially distant. In early 2020 I purchased my very first kayak. A 10′ sit in Pelican kayak. I convinced a few other friends to also get kayaks and we have been having great times ever since.
As most of us have, during this time I have also been doing a lot of streaming online through services like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and more. I discovered some metal detecting videos online and started watching. Soon I found myself watching them all the time. I decided, I needed to try metal detecting for myself.
Soon after, I discovered the Minelab Equinox 800 metal detector and started investigating. After a few months of research I was sold and purchased the Equinox 800. I have been like a wild man ever since! I can’t seem to get enough. Hunting sometimes daily, even if only for a few hours. Been detecting more than fishing even. I have only been metal detecting seriously for 55 days. (Feb 22nd, 2021). This website, my new YouTube channel and new social media spark is the result. I hope you enjoy my adventures. I appreciate your presence and support.
P.S.
Recently I received my new NuCanoe Frontier 10 fishing kayak. WOW! Wait till you see all the goodness to come from this! Stay tuned!
BHIGGLES – THE NAME
So where did the name “Higgles” come from anyway? Turns out my best friend AJ is often known as “Jackson”. The reason he is known as Jackson is because he used to bass fish with a spin cast reel. I couldn’t tell you how many times he would toss his lure into a tree and we would have to go retrieve it. After countless times in the trees, the we deemed a “Jackson” as the definition of when you toss your lure into a tree.
I taught my good friend a trick to get his lure out of the tree without having to boat over to get it. It’s a flickering type movement that causes your lure to gently be released. Other times, you can do a swinging type movement that will also produce great results with good timing. This technique was dubbed the “Higgle” and soon I was known as “BHiggles”. My name is Brian. I care about the earth, my family, friends and all people. Your presence is appreciated.
Love one another! Live with purpose.
