2 quite different
2 quite different places.
Exmouth you have the support of a town. Couple of choices of boat ramps and you have the option of going deep into the gulf if its really blowing.
Lots of offshore options including good billfish numbers which are at the top of my list.
Abrolhos you need to be totally self sufficient. There is virtually no chance to get off the boat. No support. No bakery to grab a cream donut. You can get shelter behind the islands but it sure is a crappy ride home when the weather sets in bad.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

That's a good question mate
That's a good question mate abrolhos is closer by car but very weather dependant and u don't too often get more than 2-3 days of good weather and is obviously quite far offshore. Exmouth is good fishing offshore and also if the weather plays up there is countless landbased fishing spots to tackle. U also have the mangroves at exmouth to chase mud crabs on windy days. Hard decision to make but I think I would choose exmouth just because there are so many options there.

thanks for that although im
thanks for that although im not after any billfish im just trying to catch smaller species like snapper an dhuies and empros my dad went to exmouth in 2007 and he caught heaps of fish. and i want to go there but then i thouht maby it would be better to go to the abrohlas islands with blue lighting charters because then i woud be guarenteeed good fishing spots however if i went to exmouth i might go out and cstch no fish due to i have no good fishing spots .ill probally end up going to exmouth though

If your going on a charter
If your going on a charter at the abrolhos it is probly a better option closer and less money and like u said u will be guaranteed fish
