Contacts moving away

When I'm on patrol and I get a position report on a convoy or ship that's near to me but moving away, I can never get myself into a good position without being seen, and if I take a round about route to avoid visual contact it means wasting a lot of fuel. I never have been able to work out a good tactic for this situation.

Is it worth going after these contacts or should I only go after ones that are heading in my general direction?
