Depends on where at on the Mississippi river. UP north you can step over the Mississippis River...

where on the river? If you say Venice or below, I'd say no.

yes, it's safe.
just be careful when the barges come down the river. get to the bank and wait out the wake.

pardon my ignorance, but what do you catch on the river near BR? seems like it would be pretty hard to catch bass, but i really have no idea. what about down near venice?

catching bass on the river sounds extremely hard to me. i figured it would just be cats and maybe gar or something.

Finding them in the river is extremely hard. Have heard of people catching schools 2-3 lbs in hoop nets. Backwater during floods will fill up in some spots and flood water makes it easier to access bar pits on private property for those wiling to go that route
