The girls led the way as the Blackwater Challenge enjoyed tropical conditions.
The flotilla enjoyed a record-breaking festival with more than 200 fish landed over the two days.
And Thorpe Bay's Bren Marron led the way, bringing in a top-class haul of four species to double the existing points record with her 26 fish.
That earned her the day's top prize of the Bob Cox Shield for best angler.
Friday's event -- for previous trophy winners -- went to Sue Brinsmead with a haul of ray, smoothound and tope to claim the Silver Claretin.
First-timer Debbie Newman also had a stunning catch which included in 9lb ray taken on fresh mackerel to win the best lady angler award.
