To only get photons shot at a part of your water only activate them for 
a part of the water. ;-)

Photons won't show up on the water but you might get them on the ground 
below the water or on surfaces above the water.

It is unlikely though that this would have a significant effect in such 
a scene (caustics are not a very common effect in real life sunset 
scenes either).
