Not nescasserily!
What one must remember is that at great distance a U-Boat even in daylight is near invisible due to how low to the water it is. A lookout would see a smoke trail for sure of a regular ship, but a U-Boat moving at a slow speed on the surface should be practically invisible.
It would take a very very good spotter to recognise a U-Boat on the Horizon.
