Fish for lb1 to no good end (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fish' is the definition.
(ling is a kind of fish)

'lb1 to no good end' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'no' could be 'n' (common abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'li' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
