Pesky French trawler

Ok, so it's the last day of January 1940 and i decided i would try and raid a port. I went with the French because, you know, they allways loose their wars and all that.

I sneak into St. Nazaire only to find that there are no warships and 6 small vessels lying there. I blast them all with my deck gun and all is well. On my way out i spot an armed trawler racing to help the poor defenceless sailors in port. I dive to preiscope deapth and go silent, the trawler spots me and tries to sink me with no luck. They drop DC's all over the place, only not near my boat. Another trawler joins up but he is even worse at finding my position and he leaves after an hour or so of horribly misplaced DC's. I figured the other first trawler would give up soon too and set course south towards Bordeaux harbour but the thing is following me. It has now been 5 or 6 hours of silently running a straight southern course and the trawler are still circling around above. I think he has run out of DC's because i havn't heard any for quite some time. Darkness has fallen and now i don't know what to do.

I have tried to sink him with torps, with no luck. I don't want to waiste any more fish on him. How long will he follow me? Could i surface and shoot him with my deck gun, or maby even outrace him? What would you guys do?

I am running a VIIB and the mod GWX and soon i am running out of air.
