Try off Freetown in Africa and the Brazilian coast up to Guyana and Trinidad. Don't be afraid to sneak into the Caribbean too.

You should come across tankers heading out from the north of Venezuela. But there are air patrols in the area.

I had some excellent patrols by "parking" about 200 kms WNW of Freetown, then intercepting and following convoys. This gave me two-three weeks of unibterrupted action. On one instance, got rid of all the escorts. Four small freighters survived after I ran out of deck gun ammo.

:D
