Since I was 3 years old I went fishing to the river Danube with my granddad. Started as an allround angler I'm a pure spin fisherman now since years who is also fishing other countries and continents in both saltwater and freshwater. I'm also Rapala/VMC/Okuma prostaff since 2018. In 2021 I started to manage my own fishing waters, where the fishing pressure is low and the fish population only grows with natural reproductions without any regular stocking program. Now it's time to offer you my waters combined with my experience in spinning. Join me and I'll guide you to pike, trout, zander and more.

    Richtig schöner Angel tag

    6-hours-trip • 2 adults

    Captain Johannes war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend und hat all unsere Fragen ausführlich und kompetent beantwortet. Während der Tour haben wir sehr viel gelernt und zahlreiche spannende Einblicke bekommen. Das absolute Highlight waren natürlich unsere beiden gefangenen Hechte mit 72 cm und 66 cm! 🎣🐟 Mit dem Schlauchboot ging es durch ein traumhaftes Gewässer, in dem wir zahlreiche Hechte und Karpfen beobachten konnten. Außerdem hatten wir unglaublich viele Hechtbisse, sodass es während der gesamten Tour spannend blieb. Insgesamt war es ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, das unsere Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt hat. Wir können die Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! 5/5 Sterne von uns 💪🤩

    Reported catch:
    Northern Pike

    Great fishing and great captain

    4-hours-trip • 1 adult

    It was a challenging fishing day, but with his good guidance I caught a huge fish. Learned a lot fishing with Johannes and he had a lot of tips and tricks. Would definitely recommend it for people looking for a good fishing trip in Austria close to Vienna.

    Reported catch:
    Brown Trout

    Hi Bryan, you and your two kids did a fantastic job, catching lots of pike and also the first brown trout ever in this water. I wish you a wonderful 2026 with many great fishing trips. Thanks for being my guests and tight lines! Petri Heil, Johannes Höfner

    Successful and fun day!

    6h trip incl. rental tackle • 1 adult

    Had a wonderful experience with Johannes fishing for pike. Johannes was attentive and knowledgeable and made the day very fun. We fished his breathtaking private waterway where I caught two pike and saw many fish, even a show put on by otters! I couldn't have asked for a better day. Highly recommend to add this to your itinerary for a very special experience!

    Reported catch:
    Northern Pike

  • A serene view of a calm river surrounded by lush greenery, ideal for fishing. The image captures the tranquil environment without any visible fish or anglers.
