Hello everyone. My name is sue. Im am the only daughter
Of my beautiful Dad. MALCOLM COFFEY. The maker of M C Lures. I just want to let everyone know he has passed away. 04/04/2018 Dad loved his fishing so much. Untill recently we still all fished in Kowanyama. Dad with only one leg an all. In his very late 80's and still fishing. He was 91. He started making his lures in cooktown many years ago. When i visited i would collect some lures & bring them home to Caboolture. Then id take them to Archies bait & tackle in Caboolture. Way back when. Cheers Sue 😎 |

Hi Sue, it’s sad to hear of your dads passing and I wish to pass on my condolences. I only have two of your dads lures which I found locally here at Deception Bay which I guess probably came from Archie’s. I have in the last few week had a couple of people approach me about selling or trading my two Little Mal Coffee lures but I’ve refused and hung on to them because they have been to hard to find. Sad to hear of another iconic NQ lure maker passing. I am happy to find out that he started making lures in Cooktown however as this will give me an area to focus my efforts in trying to find more of these fantastic lures.

Yes there should be a few floating around up there. Maybe caught in snages. So glad to hete youcfound them in deception bay. I have a feeling Archie moved to kallangur or lawnton area as well. He knew my dad. He was trained in the army for awhile by my dad as well. Little bit of trivia.
Cheers Sue |
