Nothing wrong with that idea, but the bow eye should be fairly low to keep the boat's motion lower to the waterline.
Also, I wouldn't use a clip for mooring: use an attached shackle with an attached nail to tighten it. I once moored our ski boat using a clip-hook, only to watch it drift by the dock later—apparently after a wake had flipped the clip over—unclipping it!
There are several designs of manual "mooring sticks" that can hook a line onto a mooring automatically from your deck and release it too.
