Big Water Boating

Took my 191 for the first time onto lake michigan and as soon as i got out of the harbor the waves were 3 to 4 footers 15 feet apart. I am new to big water boating and going into the wind at 2 MPH I would take waves over the bow of the boat. Question is would I be nuts for trying to get up on top of the waves at say 20 to 25 MPH or would i just swamp the front end.
Waves like this are the norm and i need to get out 5 to 10 miles to get to the fish.

thanks in advance.
