A direct eye witness report of a crime is generally considered to be probable cause.
If the boat next to you reports they saw you put too many fish or undersized fish in your ice chest, then a game warden would have probable cause to search your ice chest. No one is debating this point.
The point of disagreement is whether the act of fishing itself constitutes an implied consent to search or some how otherwise negates the legal requirement for probable cause to conduct an involuntary search.
