If you bring a cooler with yesterday's fillets to the beach today, and you proceed to catch fish today, the problem is the impression you are presenting.
It "appears" that you caught fish, filleted them, put them in you cooler and are trying to get more.
Think in terms of the investigating officer: He asks you (or a possible poacher) "What's in the cooler?" and the reply is "Fish, but I caught them YESTERDAY."
How many times have EPO officers had people/poachers lie to them to cover similar indescretions?
As I said, it's all about the impression that you may have taken those fillets from fish today, not a prior day.
Of course if you don't have filleting knives or utensils with you at the time, you might be OK.
