Depends of course on how "hot" your patrol zone is, as far as shipping lanes go. Consult the map and any zones with shipping lanes can be reasonably expected to have contacts. If not then cruise around, wait, check hydrophones, wait, etc. Like the real subcommanders! Try to alternate between hydrophone listening at periscope depth and use of your watch crew while surfaced (the latter are much better than you at seeing contacts at night, by the way).
I often get contacts on or around my patrol zone provided the general area is reasonably busy. There is a particularly fruitful area through some B??? zones from Gibraltar north to Great Britain.
The game goes for a free roaming feel rather than specific event driven stuff, I for one enjoy it most of the time. If you're keen on more event-specific stuff, try some single missions.
