There is a hole just north and East (~500yd) of the end of the peir that juts out from Lakefront airport. It gets to about 45' deep and is several hundred yards wide. The side slopes a re pretty drastic (like a 1V on 4H slope). I have crossed it several times very recently with my boat that I keep out at South Shore Harbor.

That would be the easiest place for me to try.

Cut mullet you say? Or live mullet? Either can be obtained for free with a cast net!

We fish for them with live mullet or large live pogies on a 9/0-11/0 circle hook with a 80 pound flourocarbon leader free lined. I know some folks who used live bull croaker and white trout too. Cutting it up tends to attract catfish and sharks.
