Narrative:
We were loaded with an amount of bags that wasn't even close to what was on the clear (cargo load report). Clear stated we had 28 checked and 22 gate claim; we actually had 13 checked and 26 gate claim; a difference of 370 lbs. I noticed on takeoff that the plane didn't feel like it was trimmed correctly; and engaged the ap shortly after takeoff. When I disengaged the ap for landing I noticed that the plane still felt off; like it was out of cg was the only thing I could think of. When we landed I got out quickly and asked the ground crew to do a count and got the actual totals submitted in this report; they copied the clear and their count totals for their records. As the plane was mostly full; I believe that we were probably out of the cg window for landing. I took the clear to the chief pilots and told them what happened to help ensure this kind of thing stops happening.

Title: CRJ-200 Captain reported incorrect baggage counts which led to issues with weight and balance.
Narrative: We were loaded with an amount of bags that wasn't even close to what was on the CLR (Cargo Load Report). CLR stated we had 28 checked and 22 gate claim; we actually had 13 checked and 26 gate claim; a difference of 370 lbs. I noticed on takeoff that the plane didn't feel like it was trimmed correctly; and engaged the AP shortly after takeoff. When I disengaged the AP for landing I noticed that the plane still felt off; like it was out of CG was the only thing I could think of. When we landed I got out quickly and asked the ground crew to do a count and got the actual totals submitted in this report; they copied the CLR and their count totals for their records. As the plane was mostly full; I believe that we were probably out of the CG window for landing. I took the CLR to the Chief Pilots and told them what happened to help ensure this kind of thing stops happening.
