Jet ski fishing tips - How to anchor a jet ski

Great advice on how to tie an anchor when jet ski fishing.
"I've seen a few people ask about ways to attach the anchor to the ski as the front tow hook is not easily accessible without getting into the water. Here is the way that I do it, it's simple enough and works fine for me on the odd occasion when I will anchor when fishing. It holds the ski from the front tow hook so the ski sits straight in the safest possible position to the current and waves. Let me know if this was any help to you or if you have any other tips.
