Who owns operates the local boat launch?
When I was in southern IL. I thought of raising bait and selling it at the local launch ramps, but most of the lakes were federal or state (or both) and they didn't look kindly at solicitation of any kind on their grounds.
If private are you stepping on anyone else's business?
Just something to keep in mind.
I'd suggest looking into the closet gas station/liquor store near the launching ramp and talk to the manager about setting up shop there.
