Procedure; Human Factors
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.
CRJ-200 Captain reported incorrect baggage counts which led to issues with weight and balance.
