Surfcasting is ocean fishing from the shore. To find the best, Here & Now's Robin Young went to Martha's Vineyard off the coast of New England.

There she met Paul Schultz, the legendary surfcaster who is featured in the definitive book "Reading The Water" by Robert Past.

But this endeavor is about more than casting a line out to attract a fish; it's also about exploring and restoration.

Here are more photos from the trip:
