I don't think so. But this from 'The Shadow of the Past' seems to answer how he found out:

Thanks Hookbill
I am reading The Hobbit and I was wondering why Bilbo did not say anything about The Shire. . . (It is the first time I read The Hobbit in Danish) |

I've always wondered how Gollum knew to head East towards Esgaroth, instead of north or south.

After the Battle of the Five Armies it would be fairly certain that Bilbo's travelling from the Misty Mountains to the Lonely Mountain, followed by his return journey home and the direction he took to the Shire would not be a secret in Dale or Mirkwood .
Gollum would have picked up on that information sooner or later . |
