- Found In: Fishing Fun, Salt Strong Podcast
Almost one year ago, we had the pleasure of interviewing Darcie Arahill (aka Darcizzle) on a live Google Hangout (you can see that interview here).
And even though she was incredibly popular and had some amazing momentum back then, the last 12 months have certainly exploded for this young female angler we all know and love as “Darcizzle Offshore”.
For instance, just a year ago she was working a full-time job and doing her fishing content solely on the weekends, early mornings before work, and some late evening fishing as well.
Today, she now has enough momentum (and sponsorships) that she just quit her job to pursue fishing full-time.
So get ready to see a whole lot more of Darcizzle Offshore!

I marvel at women on sports networks, take football for instance, that have a place at the table discussing
football. I cant understand how someone that played professionally cannot call bull—- on that.
Darcizzle on the other hand, rides or drives to the grounds, cranks the fish, throws a net, catches bait, etc etc, if shes only in it for the followers they will leave if she has no content. If she did all this in a rain suit the looks would be much less, if you look good in a Bikini , hey— sell the Cizzle!! Shes working hard, learning, I hope she becomes legit, buys a bigger boat, catches more fish. Most people will give her a chance cause shes out there trying.
Don’t hate on darcizzle
I completely agree with Charles. She’s a really bad representation of true lady anglers and not someone aspiring female anglers should look up to. Honestly, I thought Salt Strong was better than this. You’ve interviewed amazing female anglers like Capt Lacey and April Vokey who have a passion for fishing and have explored the sport for every other reason than an increase of followers. Most people that don’t live or work in the small fishing community of South Florida think she’s amazing because she holds up big fish in a bikini. The reality is she’s kind of the butt of most jokes in every local tackle shop and fishing conversation. It’s unfortunate that she doesn’t (or I should say her boyfriend doesn’t) represent herself in a classier way. Darcizzle doesn’t even post the majority of her own content, her boyfriend does. If she wants to truly survive and be taken seriously in this industry she should stop focusing on how many followers she has, who’s going to give her a shout out or what charter captain can get me a fish to hold up to the camera.
Hey guys, I understand that everyone has an opinion on girls fishing, so here is mine.
A big part of our mission here at Salt Strong is to get more people out fishing, to teach the world to fish, and to never tear fellow anglers down.
And from what I can tell, most people agree with our mission and can get behind it.
Yet, why is it people want to tear down a girl just because she wears a bikini while fishing? Not to mention, a girl that loves fishing so much that she quit her job for it (which takes some serious guts and passion).
I don’t understand how anyone can say Darcizzle is any less passionate or serious about fishing than our friends Lacey or April? All three women made the exact same sacrifice to try to make a career from fishing and encouraging other women to fish, right?
And if Darcizzle inspires just one young person (of which she currently has one of the largest social followings for a female angler in America) to go fishing, why are we to beat her down?
Aren’t we all in this together to promote fishing?
I guess I just don’t see how tearing someone down that is doing everything in her means to make a living fishing helps anyone… and I don’t care if that person is wearing a bikini, a bathrobe, or capri pants…
It’s our duty to support fellow anglers that are making an impact out there regardless of how good of an angler they are or what they wear.
If they are encouraging and promoting more people to get out on the water, then they have my vote.
Just my two cents.
Fish On!
After following her for about a year and asking her many questions to which not one reply, it occured to me that she might only be interested in gaining followers and not so much in the actual follower themselves or answering questions or offering any type of advice. In the end it seems to me that its just really about promoting herself and her advancement. I’m sure that if this post is read it may ruffle some feathers, but I think that her fishing platform should be based on personality, skill, and professionalism, not her back side hanging out of her bikini. Just my opinion though. I read a tweet that said something to the affect about more girls being taken pictures of while holding fish and less pictures taken in front of mirrors.
Get a life dude….. why dont you put a bikini on and see how many followers you can find. I guarantee you she has landed far more fish than. You will i or have!!
AWWW she didnt respond to me, I dont like her now.
haters will hate guys just jealous go get a life and leave Darci alone. I have my 25 wellcraft w / 300 etec and YouTube channel I would love to have a fisherlady doesn’t matter what they look like out there to fish with me. Some how my wife only went twice with me and passed away in 2013.
doesn’t matter what they look like get them out there fishing. Your wife,girlfriend, daughters , sons and grandkids love fishing with my grandkids. I wonder what your comments or questions were probably nasty or rude JT ????????????????????????????⛱????????????????????????????
