LAFAYETTE, Louisiana -- Knight has opened a new fishing facility in Alice, Texas, which will provide fishing tools, services, and dedicated personnel to the South Texas region. Doug Freeman has been named as the fishing services manager for the Alice location and will oversee its daily operations.

Knight has also named Rickey Tauzin as Gulf Coast regional sales manager covering South Texas, East Texas, and Louisiana. Tauzin will be based in Houston.

"A key to our continual success is growing the areas where Knight already has a presence," says Mark Knight, president of Knight. "We are confident that the added fishing store and the additional management and sales force will prove advantageous not only in growing existing accounts but gaining new ones."
