Our Story

A Local Shop Rooted in the Love of Fishing

Conroy's Bait Supply has been a Watervliet staple for anglers who want more than just a place to grab worms. We're the shop where a beginner gets patient guidance and a seasoned angler finds that one piece of tackle they've been searching for.

Whether you're casting the Hudson River, targeting bass in a nearby pond, or ice fishing when winter rolls in — we've got you covered with fresh bait, reliable gear, and honest advice.

Everything You Need on the Water

Live Bait

Fresh worms, minnows, crickets, and cut bait — stocked daily so you always have what the fish are biting on.

Fishing Licenses

Resident and non-resident fishing licenses available — annual, daily, or lifetime. Don't head out without yours.

Tackle & Accessories

Hooks, sinkers, lures, line, coolers, and all the little things that make the difference between an empty cooler and a great day.
