If you have radar and are near land draw lines out from the land that equal your radar range and connect your way-points to the end of the lines and follow this pattern. This will guarantee that no ship is missed on your land side.

Aren't most of the better targets (TF and Convoys) found further out to sea? I haven't done any coastal hunting in SH4, but what I remember of SH3 was that it was all small stuff that wasn't worth a torp...
