We're staying at Roland Martin's and Roger Gonzalez will be our guide on Big -O and using JP Outfitters for the fishing in Hollywood, FL. I always like to eat the local cuisine when traveling and being from Minnesota, its rare to get great fresh fish (except for Walleye).

Nice, how much are the tolls typically? Which road is the turnpike? Thanks!

Hi All- We are coming in next Wednesday and here are our travel plans. Any advice on routes, restaurants, or general information we should be aware of would be appreciated. Land at RSW and head to Clewiston to fish on Okeechobee for 3 days. Next Saturday, we plan to head to Hollywood Florida for two nights to be tourist and also night fish Tarpon. On Monday the 2nd, we will be driving from Hollywood, FL to RSW for noon flights. We're curious on traffic, road construction or things we should be aware of. We plan to check out the Hard Rock casino and Margaretville while in Hollywood. Our night fish is the night before we come home, so we're a little nervous about the route back to the airport and when we should get going in the AM. Thanks!

Great info. We are both 34 and staying at Roland Martins from Wed-Sun. A casino spot would be very fitting. We're willing to spring for a hotel if the 1-1.5 hour drive is worth it. We'll probably leave Clewiston around 6 pm after fishing all day, have a fun night out, then head back and hope to be on the water by 9am the next day. THis would be on the Friday night of our trip. The Deerfield Boardwalk looked interesting and fun. I have reservations if it would be worth the drive and hotel costs. Certainly tell me if I'm wrong! This forum is great...

Thanks. Will check out Deerfield beach. Hadn't thought about We definitely want to be in a touristy spot.

I am heading to Okeechobee at the end of April and over my birthday. My buddy and I are from Minnesota and have never been to this part of Florida. We are considering staying one night by the coast and would like to go out on the town. Where should we go? West palm beach area or hike it back to Fort Myers (where we are flying in). Probably looking for a steak then some cool places to get some drinks by the ocean.
