We're renting a place in a couple of weeks on Caney Creek in Sargent. As the creek flows its about 8 miles inland........about 3 miles as the crow flies. What can I expect of fishing this far up? And is the water still brackish? I know there will be cats but I don't travel from Waco to catch cats. I unfortunately don't have a boat and we will have many kids as its a family vacation so most fishing will just be off the dock at the property.

It will be brackish, depends on if there’s any heavy rains before your trip as to how salty. If no heavy rains you should be able to catch some reds. Do some crabbing while there!

I’ve fished a lot of creeks, bayous and rivers like caney creek, but not specifically Caney Creek. That’s not too far up for saltwater fish if Caney Creek is anything like other streams I’ve fished and especially as dry as things have been. It’s possible to get some action at night if there are lights. But, throw out some live or cut bait or your favorite lures and see what you can get. Don’t disregard the chance for flounder either. Flounder, nice ones, get way up rivers like Caney Creek.

Watch out for snakes.
