I actually went back to using drums in my fishing fleet, which provided some great results, raising my mackerel count from 20 to 26 in just 5 sorties to 3-3. It may be a coincidence, but it sure is a lot better than my farming in 3-4 with 1 DD carrying a searchlight / sonar / skilled lookouts, where it took ~30 sorties to go from 14 to 20 (with not even a single retreat). My current set up is the following:

It isn't exactly proof that drum canisters do increase the drop chances with so few total sorties done, but I do want to point out the idea of them not having any effect shouldn't be thrown out yet.
