Hector, Welcome aboard.
If it makes you feel any better, we all find convoys to be elusive from time to time. Couple of hints here. Convoys along with all ships in this game change course regularly, so follow that with what Misha says below.
Next, you have an additional map that shows Convoy/Merchant routes for various stages of the war, this can help sometimes. Depending on the date, if your in 1939 to early 40, try that North coast of England. I was running into a lot of small merchant convoys with one to zero escorts all along that coast from Scapa Flow down to the Dover Strait (don't go into the strait

). All of this is also dependent on which mods or campaigns your using too. Stock campaign, Open Horizons ect.
So don't be frustrated if they don't pop up all the time. For me, they always show up when I've got no fish left.
