There are some instances of home-made remedies like using debris jammed into the tubes and fired to spoof the Japanese into thinking they had scored a kill, but that's hardly a sonar decoy.

True,however,as you said,some improvised 'decoys' were used. I can't remember which book it was,but the boat used a fuel can/drum punctured with holes and filled with something that gave off bubbles. I'll have to check my library.
