AT 0052, SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING BIG CYPRESS, FL, THE PLT CALLED WEST PALM BEACH TOWER & REQUESTED ADVISORIES TO PAHOKEE ARPT. THE CONTROLLER REQUESTED THE FLT'S POSITION, BUT THE PLT WAS NOT SURE OF HIS LOCATION. THE TOWER CONTROLLER CONTACTED MIAMI ARTC FOR ASSISTANCE & THE ACFT WAS LOCATED 35 MI NORTHWEST OF MIAMI, FL. VECTORS WERE PROVIDED TO PAHOKEE, FL. HOWEVER, AT 0123, WHEN THE ACFT WAS ON AN APCH TO THE PAHOKEE ARPT, THE PLT ADVISED THAT HE WAS 'OUT OF FUEL' & WAS DITCHING. THE ACFT WAS DITCHED IN THE OKEECHOBEE LAKE.
