The Old Dutchman

The Old Dutchman Here since 1952, We started as Joe’s Bait & Tackle, became Joe’s Old Dutchman , and grew into what we know today as the Old Dutchman.

A local tradition built on fishing and family. Live bait, tackle, and snacks. No fluff—just what works. 🎣🐟 We are a family owned and operated bait & tackle store just .25 mile South of Hoover Dam on Sunbury Road. We carry a variety of baits, both live and artificial. We also carry rods, reels, combos, tackle boxes, and terminal tackle. Services we offer are rod repair, and reel cleaning and repair. We issue Fishing and Hunting Licenses and Tags.

🎣 There’s just something about a bait shop in the summertime 👏☀️

The sound of minnow tanks bubbling, people talking fishing at the counter, kids picking out bait, and fishermen stopping in before heading to the water 🪱🐟

For generations, that’s been the feeling at 📍Old Dutchman Bait and Tackle

And honestly? We wouldn’t trade it for anything ❤️🎣

🚨 IMPORTANT NOTICE – OLD DUTCHMAN BAIT & TACKLE 🚨

We’ve recently had dead minnows dumped in front of our sign.

Just a reminder to everyone using bait from us:

✔️ The correct way to dispose of dead minnows is to drain the water from your bucket first
✔️ Then place the dead minnows in the trash can outside

❌ NO WATER should be poured into the trash can

This helps us keep the property clean, prevents messes and odors, and keeps things respectful for everyone who visits.

We appreciate everyone who takes care of the shop the same way we try to take care of the community.

Thank you for your cooperation,
— Old Dutchman Bait & Tackle
