Personal experience in 3-3 and advice: after the first day, when I got 14 fishes with ease, I could only get around 5 in the next (even after waiting 24 hours) with around the same number of sorties and stopped bothering at the third day after a lot of sorties got me only 2 fishes. After around two days of no fishing, 3-3 started dropping them quite often, almost as much as in the first day, and I've finished the 30 mackerel quest. This event will still last about 2 weeks, so if you are only fishing for the furniture/sonar, it might be a good idea to take a longer break.

PS: my fleet was composed of 3 CV, 1 CVL, 1 CLT (2 sonars) and a CL with fishing equipment (sonar, skilled lookouts and searchlight). Had 15.5cm yellows, a saiun, type 2 recon and one radar among the CVs/CVL, and enough reppuus to get air supremacy in all nodes. It was pretty light on the buckets since I have Akashi and the CVs usually were still under light damage at the end. There are certainly better compositions, but I'm just sharing this one because it worked well.
