I am going fishing on the mississippi river and want to find bass but we are getting a lot of rain here so I was wondering if anyone has any tips on finding bass with the water changes.

most of the rivers in ala. if you find a small creek that runs into the river fish up stream toward the creek . i have had good luck with this here .
Baring fish able to retreat into tributaries, try cover near banks. and especially significant eddy lines.
Fish the points and inlets and oxbows especially the mouth of the oxbows where it goes into the river if there is a current there, which on a rise and fall it should be. But on the Mississippi river most of the time the oxbows and the stiller water in them is fantastic bass fishing- the water is usually clearer in the oxbows, then the river itself, and the fishing conditions are much more pleasant. Good luck and good fishing.
Largemouth will follow the water line; they have no problem venturing into the newly flooded areas in search of prey. Smallies dont do this so much; they’ll seek out deeper holes and current breaks.
