With windy conditions offshore on Saturday, competition was restricted to Sunday, with just four boats taking part.
Conditions were ideal although the fish were scarce in certain areas, with a total of 81 fish caught among the eight competitors.
Graham Eyb was the day's most successful angler, netting a total of 201.8 points despite not pulling in the largest fish in any of the categories.
Matthew Judd pulled in the biggest flathead at 1.32kg, Allan Bowden hooked a 1.16kg snapper, and visiting competitor Tia Bowden caught a 1.8kg pearl perch.
The club has also introduced runner-up prizes in the three most popular fish categories, with Ross Daley bringing in the second largest flathead on the day and Jeff Coote catching the second largest snapper.
No teraglin were caught.
